Pavilion Assigned Two Patents

SSD multiplexer, low latency metadata log

Solid state drive multiplexer
Pavilion Data Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,467,163) developed by Malwankar, Kiron Balkrishna, Kishore, Karagada Ramarao, Saratoga, CA, and Kim, Daehwan D., Sunnyvale, CA, for a “solid state drive multiplexer.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: An apparatus includes a first serial port having a first number of lanes usable to form a first multi-lane link to a solid state drive, (SSD) and a second serial port having a second number of lanes that is at least twice the first number of lanes. A first subset of the second number of lanes constitutes a first logical serial port and is usable to form a second multi-lane link to a first transport fabric and a second subset of the second number of lanes constitutes a second logical serial port and is usable to form a third multi-lane link to a second transport fabric. The apparatus further includes a controller and a multiplexer to connect the first serial port to one of the first logical serial port or the second logical serial port.

The patent application was filed on October 26, 2016 (15/335,300).

Low latency metadata log
Pavilion Data Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,445,004) developed by Dantkale, Suhas, Cupertino, CA, Satish, Venkeepuram R., Fremont, CA, and Govindasamy, Raghuraman, San Jose, CA, for a “low latency metadata log.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: A storage server includes a first controller, a second controller and physical drives. The first controller receives a request to store data in a virtual block address, (VBA) of a virtual drive, determines a physical block address, (PBA) of a physical drive on which to store the data, and sends to the physical drive a command to store the data at the PBA. The first controller generates a first metadata update for a first metadata table associated with the virtual drive, wherein the first metadata update indicates a mapping of the VBA to the PBA. The first controller generates a second metadata update for a second metadata table that identifies statuses of PBAs, wherein the second metadata update indicates that the PBA is valid. The first controller writes an entry to a cache in a memory, the entry comprising the first metadata update and the second metadata update.

The patent application was filed on March 30, 2017 (15/475,098).
