DATA STORAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HOLISTIC PROTECTION OF CLOUD-BASED SERVERLESS APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036986 titled 'DATA STORAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR HOLISTIC PROTECTION OF CLOUD-BASED SERVERLESS APPLICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The present inventors have developed a comprehensive approach to protect serverless applications in various computing environments, including single-cloud, multi-zone, multi-cloud, and non-cloud data centers.

  • The system includes a data storage management system that identifies application assets, relationships, and interoperability dependencies, and creates an "application entity" that references these assets.
  • Protection preferences are applied to the application entity as a whole.
  • An orchestration function in the system coordinates storage management operations, such as backup, replication, and live synchronization, based on the dependencies of the assets.
  • Coordinated copies of the application's assets are generated, representing a point-in-time copy of the application.
  • The data storage management system can restore and migrate the point-in-time copy to other computing services.
  • The orchestration function also coordinates restore and migration operations, including any necessary conversions between different computing environments.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Protecting serverless applications in different computing environments, such as cloud, multi-cloud, and non-cloud data centers.
  • Coordinating storage management operations, including backup, replication, and synchronization, for serverless applications.
  • Restoring and migrating serverless applications to different computing services.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring the protection and availability of serverless applications in various computing environments.
  • Managing the dependencies and relationships between application assets in a coordinated manner.
  • Facilitating the restore and migration of serverless applications across different computing environments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced security and protection for serverless applications.
  • Improved management of storage operations for serverless applications.
  • Flexibility to restore and migrate serverless applications to different computing services.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present inventors devised a holistic approach for protecting serverless applications in single-cloud, multi-zone, multi-cloud, and/or non-cloud data center computing environments. an illustrative data storage management system discovers application assets, relationships, and interoperability dependencies and creates an “application entity” that references the various assets. protection preferences apply to the application entity as a whole. an orchestration function in the system coordinates storage management operations (e.g., backup, replication, live synchronization, etc.) in a suitable order of operations gleaned from asset dependencies, if any. a set of copies of the application's discovered assets are generated in coordinated fashion and represent a point-in-time copy of the application. the point-in-time copy can be restored and/or migrated to other computing services by the data storage management system. the orchestration function coordinates restore and migration operations, including any cloud-to-cloud or cloud-to/from-non-cloud conversions that might be necessary to activate the application in a different computing environment.
