Tenoware R&D Assigned Patent

Tenoware R&D Ltd., Dublin, Ireland, has been assigned a patent (10,097,637) developed by Mettu, Pavan K., Mountain View, CA, and Murphy, Kelly, Los Altos, CA, for a “grid distributed cache.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Example distributed cache systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a read call at a first call such that the read call identifies specific data. The method identifies multiple storage nodes and multiple connected clients based on information contained in a cache map. The first client sends the read call to the multiple storage nodes and the multiple connected clients. The method determines whether any of the connected clients has cached the specific data. If at least one of the connected clients has cached the specific data, the specific data is accessed from the connected client that has cached the data. If none of the connected clients has cached the specific data, the specific data is accessed from a storage system.”

The patent application was filed on November 13, 2015 (14/941,032).
