==Network Storage Services Implemented via Storage Products and External Software - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022645 titled 'Network Storage Services Implemented via Storage Products and External Software

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of the patent application describes a storage application running on a local host system that is connected to a storage product. The storage application defines and implements a function, feature, or aspect of network storage services provided by the storage product. It specifies a configuration for message selection in the storage product. The application processes the first message received from the network interface of the storage product to generate second messages. The processing of these second messages in the storage product introduces a new function not available in the standalone storage product. The local host system can select responses to the second messages for processing, allowing the storage application to generate a response to the first message. The response is then sent back to the storage product for transmission using its network interface.

* The storage application runs on a local host system connected to a storage product.
* It defines and implements a function, feature, or aspect of network storage services provided by the storage product.
* The application configures message selection in the storage product.
* It processes incoming messages from the network interface of the storage product to generate new messages.
* The processing of these new messages in the storage product introduces a new function not available in the standalone storage product.
* The local host system can select responses to the new messages for processing.
* The storage application generates a response to the first message based on the selected responses.
* The response is sent back to the storage product for transmission using its network interface.

Potential Applications:
* Enhancing network storage services provided by storage products.
* Enabling new functions and features in storage products through the storage application.

Problems Solved:
* Limited functionality of standalone storage products.
* Lack of customization options for network storage services.

Benefits:
* Improved functionality and capabilities of storage products.
* Customizable network storage services.
* Enhanced performance and efficiency in storage operations.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a storage application running in a local host system connected to a storage product to define and implement at least a function, feature, or aspect of network storage services provided via the storage product. the storage application can specify a configuration for message selection performed in the storage product. a first message selected from incoming messages received in a network interface of the storage product is processed by the storage application to generate second messages. the processing of the second messages in the storage product implements a new function not available in the storage product standalone. responses to the second messages can be selected for processing by the local host system, based on which the storage application can generate a response to the first message. the response can be sent back to the storage product for transmission using its network interface.
