Actifio Assigned Patent

Actifio, Inc., Waltham, MA, has been assigned a patent (9,904,603) developed by Mutalik, Madhav, Southborough, MA, Abercrombie, Philip J., Belmont, MA, Provenzano, Christopher A., Somerville, MA, and Tekade, Uday, Westford, MA, for a “successive data fingerprinting for copy accuracy assurance.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems and methods for checking data integrity of a data object copied between storage pools in a storage system by comparing data samples copied from data objects. A series of successive copy operations are scheduled over time for copying a data object from a source data store to a target data store. A first data sample is generated based on a sampling scheme comprising an offset and a period. A second data sample is generated using a similar sampling scheme. The blocks of data in the first data sample and the second data sample are compared to determine if they differ to thereby indicate that the data object at the target store differs from the corresponding data object at the source data store.”

The patent application was filed on November 18, 2014 (14/546,718).
