PhazrIO Assigned Patent

PhazrIO Inc., Camarillo, CA, has been assigned a patent (10,949,302) developed by Cheung, Chi-Kwan Jim, Santa Monica, CA, Dolecek, Lara, Los Angeles, CA, Jin, Gary N., Portland, OR, and Lee, Juo-Yu, Westlake Village, CA, for an “erasure-coding-based efficient data storage and retrieval.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”One embodiment provides a system that facilitates efficient storage and retrieval using erasure coding. During operation, the system determines a finite field solution that conforms to both locality and maximum distance separable (MDS) properties of an erasure-coding system. The system determines a generator matrix of the erasure-coding system based on the finite field solution and generates, from a data element, a plurality of coded fragments based on the generator matrix of the erasure-coding system. The plurality of coded fragments includes a set of enhanced coded fragments that allows reconstruction of the data element and a set of regular coded fragments. The number of the enhanced coded fragments can be fewer than a threshold number of coded fragments for the erasure-coding system.”

The patent application was filed on October 9, 2018 (16/155,578).
