Sepaton Assigned Patent

Sepaton, Inc. announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently issued Sepaton the following patent: U.S. Patent No. 8,688,651, entitled “Dynamic Deduplication.“

It describes a patented process to dynamically adapt and tune post-process deduplication algorithms using exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) techniques to improve deduplication ratio and speed.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for dynamic deduplication. Data is processed using an algorithm that deduplicates the data based on a first set of parameters. A first moving average of a first deduplication performance metric is calculated for the algorithm over a time period. A second moving average of a second deduplication performance metric is calculated for the algorithm over the time period. It is determined that the first moving average satisfies a first criterion, the second moving average satisfies a second criterion, or both. The algorithm is reconfigured based on a second set of parameters to deduplicate data.”
 
Sepaton’s patent portfolio now includes 17 patents covering the building blocks for enterprise data protection.
 
According to Jeff Tofano, CTO, Sepaton, “As we continue to see rapidly growing volumes and new types of data permeate data centers, companies need to ensure they can protect these assets with certainty. We’re pleased to announce the expansion of our patent portfolio, which furthers Sepaton’s tradition of anticipating the complex data protection challenges our customers will face by delivering the fastest, most scalable solution in the industry.“
