Hitachi Vantara Assigned Two Patents

Importing data into data repository
Hitachi Vantara LLC, Santa Clara, CA, has been assigned a patent (11461294) developed by Soza, Christopher, Wokingham, Great Britain, for a “system for importing data into a data repository.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A computer-implemented method of importing data from a data source to a target storage system is disclosed. The method involves executing an automated data import process to retrieve data from the data source and update the target storage system based on the retrieved data. The automated data import process operates in dependence on a source data schema of the data source. The method involves detecting a change in the source data schema, and, in response to detecting the change in the source data schema, modifying the automated data import process. The modified automated data import process can subsequently be used to retrieve further data from the data source and update the target storage system based on the further retrieved data.”

The patent application was filed on 2020-09-29 (17/036379).

Optimizing content storage through stubbing
Hitachi Vantara LLC, Santa Clara, CA, has been assigned a patent (11,442,897) developed by Bramante, Richard, Yaninas, Scott, Manjanatha, Sowmya, and Shea, Jerry, Santa Clara, CA, for “optimizing content storage through stubbing.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “In some examples, a client device may send, to a service computing device over a network, a request for information related to a change to a file system associated with the client device. In response, the client device may receive, from the service computing device, a list of one or more changes to the file system. The client device may add and/or update metadata for a stub file on the client device based at least partially on the received list of one or more changes. In some cases, the stub file may include a stub data structure stored on the client device, while the file content of the file corresponding to the stub file may be stored at a storage over the network.”

The patent application was filed on February 13, 2017 (16/347,896).
