ProphetStor Assigned Patent

ProphetStor Data Services, Inc., Taichung, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (10,248,332) developed by Chen, Wen Shyen, Huang, Chun Fang, and Huang, Ming Jen, Taichung, Taiwan, for a “method for extending life expectancy of disks in cloud-based service system and system using the same.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A system for extending life expectancy of disks in a cloud-based service system and the system using the method are disclosed. The present invention uses LSTM modeling and the k-means clustering algorithms to find out performance limit and target lifespan for a cluster of disks assigned for a specific workload running over the cloud-based service system. The disks can be predicted to have a minimum lifetime and the requirement of the workload can be satisfied. Meanwhile, the minimum lifetime is the longest life the disk can last.”

The patent application was filed on October 7, 2016 (15/287,973).
