Accessing scale-out block interface in cloud-based distributed computing environment
By Francis Pelletier | June 12, 2023 at 2:00 pmPanzura, LLC, San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (11652883) developed by Zhang, Qian, Sunnyvale, CA, Xing, Jian, Pleasanton, CA, and Zhang, Pu Paul, San Jose, CA, for “accessing a scale-out block interface in a cloud-based distributed computing environment.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for accessing a scale-out block interface in a cloud-based distributed computing environment (CBDCE). During operation, an instance of a block device service (BDS) receives a data request from a client. The BDS instance translates the data request into a set of data block accesses, and then sends the translated data request to a data processing layer service (DPL). The DPL instance services the data request using a set of data operations that leverage one or more of a distributed cache, a distributed database, and a cloud storage system. The BDS service leverages the DPL instance to provide to the client an abstraction of a highly-available block storage device with unlimited storage space via the scale-out block interface.”
The patent application was filed on 2020-03-03 (16/808199).
