Abstract:
Locally providing cloud storage array services for a storage array of a data center when the storage array is not connected to a remote cloud-based storage array services provider includes initiating, by a primary storage array, one or more cloud storage array services and locally providing the cloud storage array services. Such local providing of the cloud storage array services also includes generating, by the cloud storage array services, metadata describing one or more real-time storage array characteristics and presenting the metadata to a user through a local area network.

Abstract:
Providing authorization and authentication in a cloud for a user of a storage array includes: receiving, by a storage array access module from a client-side array services module, a token representing authentication of user credentials and authorized access privileges defining one or more storage array services accessible by the user, where the token is generated by a cloud-based security module upon authentication of the user credentials and identification of authorized access privileges for the user; receiving, by the storage array access module from the user, a user access request to one or more storage array services; and determining, by the storage array access module, whether to grant the user access request in dependence upon the authorized access privileges represented by the token.

Abstract:
An illustrative method includes determining an encryption indicator for a first recovery dataset by determining a difference in an amount or percentage of incompressible data associated with the first recovery dataset compared to an amount or percentage of incompressible data associated with a second recovery dataset that temporally precedes the first recovery dataset, the encryption indicator representative of data within or represented by the first recovery dataset that cannot be compressed more than a threshold amount; and performing, based on the encryption indicator for the first recovery dataset, an action with respect to the second recovery dataset, wherein the second recovery dataset is usable to restore data maintained by a storage system to a second state corresponding to a second point in time that temporally precedes a first point in time corresponding to the first recovery dataset.

Abstract:
Providing authorization and authentication in a cloud for a user of a storage array includes: receiving, by a cloud-based security module from a client-side array services module, user credentials; authenticating, by the cloud-based security module, the user credentials; identifying, by the cloud-based security module, authorized access privileges defining one or more storage array services accessible by the user; generating, by the cloud-based security module, a token representing the authentication of the user credentials and the authorized access privileges; and providing, by the cloud-based security module to the client-side array services module, the token.
