Compuverde Assigned Three Patents

Handling requests in storage system and storage node for storage system
Compuverde AB, Sweden, has been assigned a patent (9,626,378) developed by Bernbo, Stefan, Karlskrona, Sweden, Melander, Christian, Rodeby, Sweden, Persson, Roger, Karlskrona, Sweden, and Petersson, Gustav, Sturko, Sweden, for a “method for handling requests in a storage system and a storage node for a storage system.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “According to an embodiment there is provided a method for handling requests in a storage system including a plurality of storage nodes connected to each other via a communications network. A first storage node of the plurality of storage nodes may store a reference to a set of at least one collection object stored in the storage system. Each collection object of the set may include at least one of a reference to another collection object stored in the storage system and a reference to at least one data file stored in the storage system. The method may include receiving a first request at the first storage node. The first storage node, for each collection object of the set, may send a second request to a storage node storing the collection object. According to a second aspect there is also provided a storage node.“

The patent application was filed on September 2, 2011 (13/224,424).

Distributed data storage
Compuverde AB, Sweden, has been assigned a patent (9,503,524) developed by Bernbo, Stefan, Karlskrona, Sweden, Melander, Christian, Rodeby, Sweden, Persson, Roger, Karlskrona, Sweden, and Petersson, Gustav, Sturko, Sweden, for a “distributed data storage.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The present invention relates to a distributed data storage system comprising a plurality of storage nodes. Using unicast and multicast transmission, a server application may write data in the storage system. When writing data, at least two storage nodes are selected based in part on a randomized function, which ensures that data is sufficiently spread to provide efficient and reliable replication of data in case a storage node malfunctions.“

The patent application was filed on September 12, 2014 (14/485,502).

Distributed data storage
Compuverde AB, Sweden, has been assigned a patent (9,495,432) developed by Bernbo, Stefan, Karlskrona, Sweden, Melander, Christian, Rodeby, Sweden, Persson, Roger, Karlskrona, Sweden, and Petersson, Gustav, Karlskrona, Sweden, for a “distributed data storage.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The present invention relates to a distributed data storage system comprising a plurality of storage nodes. Using unicast and multicast transmission, a server application may read and write data in the storage system. Each storage node may monitor reading and writing operations on the system as well as the status of other storage nodes. In this way, the storage nodes may detect a need for replication of files on the system, and may carry out a replication process that serves to maintain a storage of a sufficient number of copies of files with correct versions at geographically diverse locations.“

The patent application was filed on January 31, 2014 (14/169,699).
