Abstract:
Disclosed is an improved approach to implement erasure coding, which can address multiple storage unit failures in an efficient manner. The approach can effectively address multiple failures of storage units by implementing diagonal parity sets.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an approach for implementing disaster recovery for virtual machines. Consistency groups are implemented for virtual machines, where the consistency group link together two or more VMs. The consistency group includes any set of VMs which need to be managed on a consistent basis in the event of a disaster recovery scenario.
