DDN Assigned Patent

DataDirect Networks, Inc., Chatsworth, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,740,560) developed by Molaro, Donald J., Cupertino, CA, Fellinger, David, Westlake Village, CA, Olster, Dan, Woodland Hills, CA, and Fried-Gintis, Adam, Lake Balboa, CA, for a “failure resilient distributed replicated data storage system.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A failure resilient distributed replicated data storage system is described herein. The storage system includes zones that are independent, and autonomous from each other. The zones include nodes that are independent and autonomous. The nodes include storage devices. When a data item is stored, it is partitioned into a plurality of data objects and a plurality of parity objects calculated. Reassembly instructions are created for the data item. The data objects and parity objects are spread across all nodes and zones in the storage system. Reassembly instructions are also spread across the zones. When a read request is received, the data item is prepared from the lowest latency nodes according to the reassembly instructions. This provides for data resiliency while keeping the amount of storage space required relatively low.“

The patent application was filed on August 31, 2015 (14/841,484).
