Xanadu Big Data Assigned Patent

Xanadu Big Data LLC, Lexington, MA, has been assigned a patent (10,067,719) developed by Newman, Rhys Andrew, Oxon, Great Britain, for a “method for optimizing storage configuration for future demand and system thereof.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The present disclosure provides methods and systems for storing and accessing data in a distributed data storage system. The distributed data storage system includes a plurality of data storage nodes. The method includes receiving a data storing request. Then, a pseudo-random sequence of data storage nodes of the plurality of data storage nodes is generated, wherein the pseudo-random sequence is not sequential from any starting position and each data storage node of the pseudo-random sequence of data storage nodes is determined using a pre-determined pseudo-random function that is a function of a data reference. Finally, a data is stored into at least one data storage node of the pseudo-random sequence of data storage nodes based on a pre-defined selection criteria. The distributed data storage system includes an access server configured to store into and access data from at least one data storage node of data storage nodes.”

The patent application was filed on August 30, 2017 (15/691,170).
