Storage Management System and Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028520 titled 'Storage Management System and Method
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method, computer program product, and computing system for generating a page buffer pool within a data journal of a storage node. The storage node processes operations on a storage array and persists pages in page buffers based on the processing of these operations. Each page buffer in the pool is associated with a page buffer hash, which is stored in a page descriptor.
- The invention is a method, computer program product, and computing system for managing a page buffer pool within a data journal of a storage node.
- The storage node processes operations on a storage array and stores pages in page buffers within the page buffer pool.
- A hash of each page buffer is generated and stored in a page descriptor associated with the page buffer.
- The page buffer pool allows for efficient management and retrieval of pages based on their associated hash values.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Data storage systems: The invention can be applied in various data storage systems to improve the management and retrieval of pages within a page buffer pool.
- Database management systems: The technology can be used in database management systems to optimize the storage and retrieval of data pages.
- File systems: File systems can benefit from this technology by improving the efficiency of page buffering and retrieval.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient page management: The invention solves the problem of efficiently managing pages within a data journal by using a page buffer pool and associated page descriptors.
- Faster data retrieval: By generating and storing page buffer hashes, the technology enables faster retrieval of pages based on their hash values.
- Improved system performance: The invention improves the overall performance of storage nodes by optimizing the storage and retrieval of pages.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster data access: The technology allows for faster retrieval of pages based on their associated hash values, resulting in improved data access times.
- Efficient resource utilization: By using a page buffer pool, the invention optimizes the utilization of storage resources within a data journal.
- Enhanced system performance: The improved page management and retrieval provided by the technology contribute to enhanced system performance and responsiveness.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method, computer program product, and computing system for generating a page buffer pool within a data journal of a storage node. a plurality of to operations may be processed on a storage array using the storage node. a plurality of pages may be persisted in a plurality of page buffers within the page buffer pool based upon, at least in part, the processing of the plurality of to operations. for each page buffer in the page buffer pool, a hash of the page buffer may be generated, thus defining a page buffer hash. the page buffer hash may be stored in a page descriptor associated with the page buffer.
