ZONED NAMESPACE STORAGE DEVICE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969917 titled 'ZONED NAMESPACE STORAGE DEVICE SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a zoned namespace storage device system that includes a storage device with a zoned namespace storage subsystem and storage device compute hardware. The system allows for storage operations to be performed on the zoned namespace storage subsystem through a storage device management microservice.
- Zoned namespace storage device system:
- Includes zoned namespace storage subsystem and storage device compute hardware. - Enables storage operations on the zoned namespace storage subsystem through a storage device management microservice.
- Storage device management microservice:
- Presents a non-zone storage service to a host subsystem. - Utilizes a zone storage service to perform storage operations on the zoned namespace storage subsystem.
Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in data centers, cloud storage systems, and enterprise storage solutions.
Problems Solved: Efficient storage management, optimized storage operations, and improved data storage performance.
Benefits: Enhanced storage device performance, streamlined storage operations, and increased data storage efficiency.
Potential Commercial Applications: Cloud storage providers, data center operators, and enterprise storage solution providers could benefit from implementing this technology.
Possible Prior Art: Prior art may include existing zoned storage systems, storage device management solutions, and storage device compute hardware configurations.
Unanswered Questions:
1. How does this technology impact data security in storage systems? 2. What are the potential scalability limitations of this zoned namespace storage device system?
Original Abstract Submitted
A zoned namespace storage device system includes a zoned namespace storage device coupled to a computing device. The zoned namespace storage device includes a zoned namespace storage subsystem that is configured to store data, and storage device compute hardware that is coupled to the zoned namespace storage subsystem and that is configured to provide a storage device operating system that includes a storage device management microservice. The storage device management microservice presents a non-zone storage service to a host subsystem in the computing device and receives, via the non-zone storage service presented to the host subsystem, a storage command from the host subsystem that is associated with a storage operation. The storage device management microservice then utilizes a zone storage service presented to the storage device management microservice by the zoned namespace storage subsystem to perform the storage operation on the zoned namespace storage subsystem.
