Here Data Technology Assigned Patent

Here Data Technology, Shenzhen, China, has been assigned a patent (11,294,601) developed by Hao, Bin, Zhu, Jian,and Zhang, Jingyao, Guangdong, China, for a “method of distributed data redundancy storage using consistent hashing.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Disclosed is a method of distributed data redundancy storage using consistent hashing, which is used for selection of pre-stored data in the distributed position in storage cluster. The method is implemented by establishing a logical topology for each storage node in a distributed storage system, determining the position of each node in a storage node sequence corresponding to each hash subspace by using consistent hashing, and then determining a number of data copies and each piece of stored data according to the redundant storage policy of pre-stored data, and storing each piece of stored data in a different storage node according to storage rules.”

The patent application was filed on July 10, 2018 (17/059,438).
