Abstract: A Lightweight Bridge (LWB) is disclosed. The LWB may be a circuit. An endpoint of the LWB that may expose a plurality of Physical Functions (PFs) to a host. A root port of the LWB may connect to a device and determine the PFs and Virtual Functions (VFs) exposed by the device. An Application Layer-Endpoint (APP-EP) and an Application Layer-Root Port (APP-RP) may translate between the PFs exposed by the endpoint and the PFs/VFs exposed by the device. The APP-EP and the APP-RP may implement a mapping between the PFs exposed by the endpoint and the PFs/VFs exposed by the device.

Abstract: A system is disclosed that provides emergency backup power to a solid-state drive (SSD) that may not contain any internal supercapacitors. The SSD may include a first connector and a hold-up power supply. The first connector may have a predetermined form factor and may being capable of being connected to a corresponding connector of a midplane of a storage system. The first connector may include a main power connection that is connected to a main power supply of the midplane if the first connector is connected to the corresponding connector of the midplane. The hold-up power supply may be internal to the SSD, and may receive hold-up energy from an external energy source for a predetermined amount of time after the first connector has been disconnected from the main power connection of the midplane so that the SSD may store any host data write requests that the SSD has acknowledged.

Abstract: A device includes a communications circuit configured to communicate with a storage device controller and a host device. The device further includes a processing device configured to receive a request from the storage device controller through the communications circuit. The request requests encrypted data be written to a memory address of the host device. The processing device is further configured to identify a key associated with the write request based on the memory address. The processing device is further configured to generate a decrypted version of the data based on the key. The processing device is further configured to initiate transfer, through the communications circuit, of the decrypted version of the data to the host device.

Abstract: A system and method for differentiated storage services with a Ethernet SSD includes receiving, at an Ethernet SSD (eSSD), an input/output (I/O) service request from a remote host via a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network. The I/O service request includes at least one parameter that may be used to match the I/O service request to a label switched path (LSP) based on the parameter(s). A storage traffic stream may then be opened between the eSSD and the remote host over the MPLS network according to the LSP.

Abstract: A storage system comprises one or more storage devices, power supplies supplying power to the storage device, a processor that performs in response to determining that the total power consumption of the one or more storage devices is less than a first percentage threshold of a load of the active power supplies, deactivating one or more of the active power supplies until the total power consumption is equal to or greater than the first percentage threshold of a load of each of the active power supplies, and in response to determining that the total power consumption is equal to or greater than a second percentage threshold of a load of each of the active power supplies, activating one or more of the deactivated ones of the power supplies until the total power consumption is less than the second percentage threshold of the load of each of the active power supplies.

Abstract: A system and method for providing erasure code protection across multiple storage devices. A data switch in a storage system connects a plurality of storage devices to a remote host. Each storage device is also connected to a controller, e.g., a baseboard management controller. During normal operation, read and write commands from the remote host are sent to respective storage devices through the data switch. When a write command is executed, the storage device executing the command sends a copy of the data to the controller, which generates and stores erasure codes, e.g., on a storage device that is dedicated to the storage of erasure codes, and invisible to the remote host. When a device fails or is removed, the controller reconfigures the data switch to redirect all traffic addressed to the failed or absent storage device to the controller, and the controller responds to host commands in its stead.

Abstract: A storage system includes a plurality of storage devices in a storage chassis and configured to store objects, an Ethernet switch in the storage chassis, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) connected to the storage devices, and a memory connected to the BMC. The plurality of storage devices include a query storage device and a candidate storage device, and the storage devices are connected to each other via the Ethernet switch in the storage chassis. The memory or the query storage devices is configured to store metadata corresponding to the objects stored in the candidate storage device.

Abstract: A chassis is disclosed. The chassis may include a processor, a switch, and at least one storage device in communication with a remote processor. The storage device may support an active power mode and a low power mode. A response to a Keep Alive (KA) message may be sent to the remote processor on behalf of the storage device when the storage device is in low power mode.
