Teradata US Assigned Patent

Teradata US, Inc., San Diego, CA, has been assigned a patent (11,061,932) developed by Sanders, Kevin Reed, Escondido, CA, for “methods and system for managing storage with multiple simultaneous data temperature models.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A single storage allocation unit of a distributed storage is mapped to multiple different data temperature metric values (metric value), and each metric value calculated and produced by a data temperature generator. Each generator is designed to provide a metric value used to optimize performance of a specific data management feature for the storage subsystem. At any given point in time, the storage allocation unit has multiple up-to-date metric values available for managing the underlying data of the storage allocation unit by storage subsystems and storage management processes. Based on changing performance characteristics associated with the underlying data, a current metric value being used to manage the storage allocation unit can be dynamically switched to a different up-to-date metric value. This automatically causes the underlying storage subsystems/storage management processes to optimize arrangement and organization of the underlying data for a desired data management feature.”

The patent application was filed on July 18, 2019 (Appl. No.16/515,554).
