Cohesity Assigned Patent

Cohesity, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,120,587) developed by Aron, Mohit, Los Altos, CA, and Shanmuganathan, Ganesha, Santa Clara, CA, for a “tier-optimized write scheme.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Techniques are disclosed for storing data in a plurality of storage tiers on a computing node. A node receives a request to write data corresponding to at least a first portion of a file. The node determines whether to perform the request either as an in-place write or as an out-of-place write. Upon determining to perform the request as the in-place write, the node writes the data to a first location on a storage tier which currently stores the first portion of the file. Upon determining to perform the request as the out-of-place write, the node writes the data to a second location on one of the storage tiers, other than the first location.”

The patent application was filed on June 20, 2017 (15/628,445).
