Teradata US Assigned Patent

Teradata US, Inc., San Diego, CA, has been assigned a patent (11,023,437) developed by Morris, John Mark, San Diego, CA, for a “data storage management based on indicated storage levels and other criteria for multi-level storage systems.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Data can be stored based on one or more indications and one or more other storage criteria. The indications can effectively indicate or identify a storage level for storing data in a multi-storage system. The indications, however, need not be the only basis for storing the data object in a multi-storage system as one or more other storage criteria can also be considered. As a result, the indication can be used to effectively influence data storage but other storage criteria can be used as well to prevent adverse effects caused by undue influence and to ensure the overall efficiency of the system. Also, the one or more other storage criteria can be evaluated or revaluated on a continual basis.”

The patent application was filed on April 28, 2017 (Appl. No.15/581,353).
