Datto, Inc., Norwalk, CT, has been assigned a patent (10,795,775) developed by Gibbons, Jr., Robert John, and McChord, Austin, Norwalk, CT, for “apparatuses, methods, and systems for storage and analysis of SaaS data and non-SaaS data for businesses and other organizations.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A ‘Local Ingestion’ (LI) Server resides and operates in the LAN of a business organization, and provides backup storage for data generated using various software applications locally installed on client terminals (non-SaaS data) and data generated using various SaaS applications accessed by client terminals via the Internet, (SaaS data). The LI Server can receive data generated in a native format by either a local non-SaaS application or one or more SaaS applications and convert from different native data formats to an application platform-independent or ‘canonical’ format for backed-up SaaS data and non-SaaS data. The LI Server may then analyze data generated using different source applications, and backed-up in a canonical format, so as to identify particular content, patterns, relationships, and/or trends and thereby extract valuable business-related or other information from multiple cross-platform files.”

The patent application was filed on October 31, 2016 (15/771,443).
