摘要： A holographic storage drive of a holographic data storage system is configured to write and read holograms with respect to a plurality of locations of a holographic storage medium; and a control is configured to operate the holographic storage drive to write a known image aggregated with data in the form of a hologram to the holographic storage medium; to operate the holographic storage drive to read back the written hologram, employing a partial matched filter to cross-correlate the read-back image with the ideal version of the known image, excluding the remainder of the written hologram; and to determine whether the cross-correlation at least meets a write/readback threshold.

摘要： An example of the invention classifies disks drives based on their purpose and associating power-saving policies in multiple classes. The system implements Power On Demand, where a reduced power mode is enabled for every individual component of a storage subsystem. In addition, an embodiment of this invention extends a few power modes used in the prior art and allows almost infinite number of power modes when instructing a disk drive (via its I/O interface such as a SCSI or fiber channel interface) to enter a certain power saving mode. Furthermore, an embodiment of invention teaches a system and methods to save power in a disk system comprising a plurality of disk controllers and a plurality of disk drives, arranged in a plurality of arrays, where each array includes several (e.g., 4-16) disk drives.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automatically backing up a dynamically created resource group. One embodiment of the apparatus includes an event module, a resource group module, and a backup module. The event module receives an event notification of an unanticipated system event, such as a system failure or similar event. The resource group module dynamically creates a resource group made up of resources (files, directories, applications, databases, etc.) in response to the event notification. The resource group may be created based on which resources are within a specified classification and have a timestamp within a specified time range. The backup module initiates a backup operation to copy the resource group to a backup location. The backup module backs up as much of the resource group as possible within the time between the resource group creation and the time that the system may become unavailable.

摘要： Improved reliability for multi-layer media is providing by the present invention. A data stream U is received for recording to a multi-layer rotating storage medium, the data stream U comprising a sequence of data bits. Each data bit U(J) is encoded into X representation bits. A first representation bit B(1,J) is recorded onto a first layer of the storage media, the second representation bit B(2,J) is recorded onto a second layer of the storage media, etc. When a request to read the recorded data U from the storage media is subsequently received, a plurality of the X representation bits are read back from the storage media and are decoded into the original data bit U(J). In one embodiment, encoding may be performed with a convolution encoding algorithm and decoding with a PRML decoding algorithm. In another embodiment, Reed Solomon encoding/decoding may be employed.

摘要： A Redundant Array of Independent Devices uses convolution encoding to provide redundancy of the striped data written to the devices. No parity is utilized in the convolution encoding process. Trellis decoding is used for both reading the data from the RAID and for rebuilding missing encoded data from one or more failed devices, based on a minimal, and preferably zero, Hamming distance for selecting the connected path through the trellis diagram.
