Rubrik, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,803,193) developed by Noe, Matthew Edward, San Francisco, CA, Han, Seungyeop, Sunnyvale, CA, and Kumar, Arohi, Palo Alto, CA, for a “multi-tenant authorization framework in a data management and storage cluster.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A data management and storage (DMS) duster of peer DMS nodes manages resources of a multi-tenant environment. The DMS cluster provides an authorization framework that provides user access which is scoped to the resources within a tenant organization and the privileges of the user within the organization. To authorize an action on a resource by a user, the DMS cluster determines determine user authorizations associated with the user defining privileges of the user on the resources of the multi-tenant environment, and organization authorizations associated defining resources of the multi-tenant environment that belong to the organization. The DMS cluster authorizes the action when the user authorizations and organizations authorized indicate that the action on the resource is authorized.”
The patent application was filed on April 24, 2019 (16/392,908).
Disaster recovery of archived data
Rubrik, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,795,774) developed by Pandey, Prateek, Santa Clara, CA, and Agarwal, Arpit, Mountain View, CA, for a “disaster recovery of archived data.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Methods and systems for efficiently downloading archived snapshot data from the cloud or from an archival data store are described. In a disaster recovery scenario in which an entire storage appliance for backing up different point in time versions of a virtual machine has failed (e.g., due to a fire), archived snapshot data for the different point in time versions may be acquired by a second storage appliance from an archival data store (e.g., cloud-based data storage) using one or more snapshot mapping files. A snapshot mapping file may include pointers to a plurality of data blocks within the archival data store for generating a full image snapshot associated with a particular point in time version of the virtual machine. The plurality of data blocks may comprise the minimum number of data blocks necessary to construct the particular point in time version of the virtual machine.”
The patent application was filed on January 19, 2018 (15/876,104).
