Integrating compute resources in SAN

Joyent, Inc., San Francisco, CA, has been assigned a patent (8,943,284) developed by Hoffman, Jason Alexander, San Francisco, CA, for a “systems and methods for integrating compute resources in a storage area network .

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A data processing and storage system includes a compute module for running at least one virtual machine for processing guest data. State data on the at least one virtual machine is collected. The system also includes a storage module communicating with the compute module and storing the guest data. The storage module accesses the state data for controlling storage operations. A cloud storage/compute system is provided that includes a storage module for storing guest data for a virtual machine and operating based on a clock. The cloud storage/compute system also includes a compute module coupled to the storage module for performing operations on the guest data for the virtual machine and operating based on the clock. A method is provided that includes collecting state data on a virtual machine that processes guest data, and controlling storage operations relating to the guest data based on the state data.

The patent application was filed on March 14, 2013 (13/829,250).
