MIGRATION OF DATA TO MAINTAIN DATA RESILIENCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094909 titled 'MIGRATION OF DATA TO MAINTAIN DATA RESILIENCY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for migrating data to maintain data resiliency, including monitoring storage device performance and migrating data to a different storage device if performance criteria are not met.

  • Receiving user input indicating the resiliency level of the data.
  • Storing the data at a storage device associated with the specified resiliency level.
  • Monitoring performance vectors of the storage devices.
  • Identifying a failing vector that does not meet performance criteria for the data resiliency.
  • Analyzing characteristics of each storage device, including resiliency.
  • Selecting a new storage device for data migration to maintain resiliency.
  • Migrating the data from the original storage device to the new one.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in cloud storage systems, data centers, and other environments where data resiliency and performance are critical.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of maintaining data resiliency in the face of failing storage device performance vectors.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved data resiliency, optimized storage device performance, and proactive data migration to prevent data loss.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include cloud storage services, data management companies, and IT infrastructure providers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be data migration tools in storage management software that optimize data placement based on performance metrics.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system determine which storage device to migrate the data to?

The system analyzes the characteristics of each storage device, including resiliency levels, to identify the best candidate for data migration while maintaining data resiliency.

What happens if multiple storage devices fail to meet performance criteria for data resiliency?

If multiple storage devices fail to meet performance criteria, the system may need to prioritize the migration of data to ensure resiliency is maintained.


Original Abstract Submitted

migration of data to maintain data resiliency, including receiving user-input indicating a first data resiliency of first data; storing the first data at a first storage device of the storage devices, the first storage device associated with the first data resiliency; monitoring vectors associated with performance of the storage devices; determining, based on the monitoring, that a particular vector fails to meet an associated performance criteria for the first data resiliency of the first data, and in response: analyzing characteristics of each of the storage devices, including a resiliency of each of the storage devices; identifying, based on the characteristics of each of the storage devices, a second storage device of the storage devices for migration of the first data such that the first resiliency of the first data is maintained; and migrating the first data from the first storage device to the second storage device
