Avago/Broadcom Assigned Patent

Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. Ltd., Singapore, Singapore , acquired by Broadcom, has been assigned a patent (10,708,357) developed by Hendel, Ariel, Cupertino, CA, and Kishore, Karagada Ramarao, Saratoga, CA, for a “network-displaced direct storage.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A network-displaced direct storage architecture transports storage commands over a network interface. In one implementation, the architecture maps, at hosts, block storage commands to remote direct memory access operations (e.g., over converged Ethernet). The mapped operations are communicated across the network to a network storage appliance. At the network storage appliance, network termination receives the mapped commands, extracts the operation and data, and passes the operation and data to a storage device that implements the operation on a memory.”

The patent application was filed on March 30, 2018 (15/941,910).
