Atavium/Quantum Assigned Patent

Atavium, Inc., Minnetonka, MN, (acquired by Quantum Corp.) has been assigned a patent (11,112,995) developed by Bakke, Mark A., Maple Grove, MN, Fiore, Edward, Ramsey, MN, Klemm, Michael J., Minnetonka, MN, and Olin, Marc David, Edina, MN, for “systems and methods for random to sequential storage mapping.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Systems and methods for mapping random data writes to sequential or semi-sequential storage. Data writes may be initially directed to an SSD or other relatively low latency and high IO/s storage layer. The data may remain in the SSD storage layer until a group of data may be written, together, to a sequential or semi-sequential storage layer. A data organizer may group the data into data buckets based on tags and/or policies associated with the data. In this way, data subject to similar lifetime, priority, data protection, and/or other policies may be stored on a same segment or other portion of the sequential storage layer. Similarly, data having similar access patterns, authors, files, objects, or project affiliations, may be stored together on a same segment of the sequential storage layer.”

The patent application was filed on October 27, 2017 (15/796,234).
