Liqid Inc., Broomfield, CO, has been assigned a patent (10,362,107) developed by Long, Christopher R., Colorado Springs, CO, Cannata, James Scott, Denver, CO, and Clark, Phillip, Boulder, CO, for a “synchronization of storage transactions in clustered storage systems.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for data storage systems are provided herein. In one example, a data storage system is provided that includes processing systems configured to receive storage operations for storage drives coupled over a communication fabric. The data storage system includes a control processor configured to establish a timer synchronization signal and distribute the timer synchronization signal to the processing systems. Each of the processing systems is configured to assign timestamps to received storage operations based on a timestamp counter synchronized among the processing systems using the timer synchronization signal. The processing systems are configured to order committing of the storage operations to the storage drives based at least on the timestamps associated with the storage operations.”

The patent application was filed on September 4, 2015 (14/846,445).
