    Abstract: Intelligently compressing data in a storage array that includes a plurality of storage devices, including: prioritizing, in dependence upon an expected benefit to be gained from compressing each data element, one or more data elements; receiving an amount of processing resources available for compressing the one or more of the data elements; and selecting, in dependence upon the prioritization of the one or more data elements and the amount of processing resources available for compressing one or more of the data elements, a data compression algorithm to utilize on one or more of the data elements.

    Abstract translation: 智能地压缩包括多个存储设备的存储阵列中的数据,包括:根据从压缩每个数据元素获得的预期益处优先化一个或多个数据元素; 接收可用于压缩所述一个或多个数据元素的处理资源量; 以及根据一个或多个数据元素的优先级和可用于压缩一个或多个数据元素的处理资源的数量来选择要在一个或多个数据元素上使用的数据压缩算法。 >

    Abstract: Performing a non-disruptive upgrade of data in a storage system that includes a plurality of storage devices and a storage controller, including: creating new data in a new data format, wherein the new data includes a reference to old data in an old data format, wherein system software in the storage system can utilize data in the new data format and the old data format; determining that a portion of the volume has changed; and responsive to determining that the portion of the volume has changed, updating the new data to include a reference to old data associated with a portion of the volume that precedes the changed portion of the volume, new data associated with the changed portion of the volume, and a reference to old data associated with a portion of the volume that follows the changed portion of the volume.

    Abstract: A system and method for performing replication using mediums. A snapshot 'S' is selected for replication, and the anchor medium 'M' of S is identified. The replica storage array 'R' to which M is being replicated determines a list of medium extents which are available. R sends this list to an original storage array 'O' and O generates a list of medium extents which need to be sent to R. Only those medium extents corresponding to M which R does not already have will be sent from O to R. Also, R can obtain medium extents from other source storage arrays during the replication process.

    Abstract translation: 使用介质执行复制的系统和方法。 选择快照“S”用于复制,并且识别S的锚定介质“M”。 正在复制M的副本存储阵列“R”确定可用的介质盘区列表。 R将此列表发送到原始存储阵列“O”,O生成需要发送到R的介质盘区列表。只有对应于M的那些媒体范围R将不会从O发送到R.另外 在复制过程中,R可以从其他源存储阵列获得中等程度的数据。
