Egnyte Assigned Two Patents

Uploading streamed objects to cloud storage
Egnyte, Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (11582198) developed by Shetty, Sachin, Mumbai, India, Jassal, Amrit, Morgan Hill, CA, Sharma, Shishir, Rai, Yogesh, Chauhan, Manoj, Mountain view, CA, Jakubowski, Leszek, Poznan, Poland, and Lahiri, Krishanu, San Jose, CA, for “systems and methods for uploading streamed objects to a cloud storage system.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Methods in a cloud object store facilitate strong data encryption, customer-management of object (encryption) keys, reductions in latency, globally-distributed object storage, and handling of streamed uploads. A method for encrypting objects stored in a cloud includes encrypting each object with a unique encryption (object) key. The plaintext object keys are generated in advance of uploads. The plaintext object keys can be stored in an object database in the cloud. Alternatively, the plaintext object keys can be provided to a customer’s HSM, encrypted, and returned to the cloud, such that encrypted object keys, encrypted by the customer, are stored in the cloud. The cloud can alternatively encrypt the customer’s object keys with a master key for the customer, which is then encrypted by the customer’s HSM before being stored in the cloud. Proxies are also deployed for efficiently communicating with customer security modules.”

The patent application was filed on 2017-04-01 (15/477063).

Presenting hybrid cloud cache as file system
Egnyte, Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (11573934) developed by Guerra, Andrew, Salpekar, Ajay, and Tang, David, Mountain View, CA, for “system and method of presenting a hybrid cloud cache as a file system.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A system and methods for presenting a hybrid cloud cache as a file system. The system implements a set of standard file system command line interfaces that present the objects stored by the hybrid cloud cache to users of the system as if the users were viewing and interacting with a traditional file system. The system provides an interactive shell to the users to view the contents of the hybrid cloud cache. The system may be configured to operate on a live instance as well as on an on-disk structure of the hybrid cloud cache. The system may provide the ability to present partially cached cloud data as a file system via the interactive shell for the purposes of development, support, and troubleshooting.”

The patent application was filed on 2021-05-28 (17/333696).
