Abstract: An illustrative method includes a storage system receiving attribute data representative of one or more attributes of a known attack against data maintained by a target system other than the storage system, updating an extensible attack monitoring process executed by the storage system with the attribute data, and monitoring, using the extensible attack monitoring process updated with the attribute data, storage operation requests of the storage system for one or more attributes that match the one or more attributes of the known attack.

Abstract: An illustrative method includes a data protection system detecting a request to perform an operation with respect to a storage system, identifying one or more attributes of the request, determining, based on the one or more attributes, that the request is possibly related to a security threat against the storage system, and throttling, based on the determining that the request is possibly related to the security threat against the storage system, a performance of the operation.

Abstract: A uniform model for distinct types of data replication, including receiving, at a source data repository, an update to a dataset; generating, based on the update to the dataset, both metadata describing the update to the dataset and also a metadata representation of the dataset; and initiating, based on the same metadata describing the update to the dataset and also based on the same metadata representation of the dataset, either a first type of data replication or a second type of data replication from among a plurality of types of data replication.

Abstract: Efficiently transferring data between tiers in a virtual storage system, including: receiving, by the virtual storage system, a request to write data to the virtual storage system; transforming, within storage provided by a first tier of storage of the virtual storage system, the data to generate transformed data; and migrating, from the first tier of storage to a second tier of storage that is more durable than the first tier of storage of the virtual storage system, at least a portion of the transformed data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums for optimistically managing compressed data in a storage system. When possible, multiple input blocks are compressed into a buffer and stored in a single physical block on a storage device. The metadata of the multiple input blocks can be managed separately. A fingerprint of the compressed buffer can be generated and used as an index to the single physical block. Alternatively, fingerprints of the uncompressed input blocks can be generated, and reference counts can be maintained to track the number of input blocks which reference the compressed buffer. In some embodiments the physical block is associated with a zone represented by a virtual construct, wherein the zone is dynamically mapped to underlying storage of the zoned storage system.

Abstract: A storage system and related method are for operating solid-state storage memory in a storage system. Zones of solid-state storage memory are provided. Each zone includes a portion of the solid-state storage memory. The zone has a data write requirement for the zone for reliability of data reads. The storage system adjusts power loss protection for at least one zone. The adjusting is based on the data write requirement for the zone and responsive to detecting a power loss.

Abstract: Storage layer data obfuscation, including: determining a subset of a dataset to obfuscate in accordance with a security policy; generating, based at least in part on the security policy, an obfuscated snapshot of the dataset that is representative of the dataset with the subset of the dataset obfuscated; and sending, to a target computer system, the obfuscated snapshot from which a restored version of the dataset includes the subset of the dataset obfuscated.

Abstract: Establishing a synchronous replication relationship between two or more storage systems, including: identifying, for a dataset, a plurality of storage systems across which the dataset will be synchronously replicated; configuring one or more data communications links between each of the plurality of storage systems to be used for synchronously replicating the dataset; exchanging, between the plurality of storage systems, timing information for at least one of the plurality of storage systems; and establishing, in dependence upon the timing information for at least one of the plurality of storage systems, a synchronous replication lease, the synchronous replication lease identifying a period of time during which the synchronous replication relationship is valid.
