LCS DATA PROVISIONING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875474 titled 'LCS DATA PROVISIONING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a Logically Composed System (LCS) data provisioning system that includes an orchestrator device with a cache subsystem. The orchestrator device is connected to client devices and storage subsystem(s).
- The orchestrator device activates read data caching for the storage subsystem(s) when it identifies that a first client device has exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s).
- When the first client device sends a read request for first data stored in the storage subsystem(s), the orchestrator device retrieves the data from the cache subsystem and provides it to the client device.
- The read data caching is deactivated when the orchestrator device identifies that the first client device no longer has exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s).
Potential applications of this technology:
- Data-intensive systems where multiple client devices access the same storage subsystem(s).
- Cloud computing environments where efficient data provisioning is crucial.
- Distributed file systems where caching can improve read performance.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Reducing the load on the storage subsystem(s) by caching frequently accessed data.
- Improving read performance by retrieving data from the cache subsystem instead of the storage subsystem(s).
- Ensuring exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s) for improved data consistency.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster data retrieval for client devices due to read data caching.
- Reduced load on the storage subsystem(s) resulting in improved overall system performance.
- Improved data consistency by managing exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s).
Original Abstract Submitted
A Logically Composed System (LCS) data provisioning system includes an orchestrator device that includes a cache subsystem and that is coupled to client devices and storage subsystem(s). When the orchestrator device identifies that a first client device has exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s), it activates read data caching for the storage subsystem(s). The orchestrator device then receives a first read request from the first client device that is directed to first data that is stored in the storage subsystem(s) and, in response, retrieves the first data from the cache subsystem and provides the first data to the first client device. When the orchestrator device identifies that the first client device no longer has exclusive access to the storage subsystem(s), it deactivates the read data caching for the storage subsystem(s).
