==Host System Failover via Data Storage Device Configured to Provide Memory Services - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184783 titled 'Host System Failover via Data Storage Device Configured to Provide Memory Services

== Simplified Explanation ==
The patent application describes a system for host system failover using a memory sub-system to store in-memory data for database operations. This allows for seamless transition to a backup host system in case of a failure.

* The memory sub-system is divided into two portions: one acts as a memory device accessible via a first protocol, and the other acts as a storage device accessible via a second protocol.
* A database manager in the host system stores in-memory data in the memory device and persistent database records in the storage device.
* In the event of a host system failure, the memory sub-system can be connected to a backup host system to continue database operations using the stored in-memory data.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in various industries where continuous database operations are critical, such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce.

== Problems Solved ==
The system addresses the issue of host system failures causing disruptions in database operations by providing a failover mechanism using the memory sub-system.

== Benefits ==
* Seamless failover to a backup host system in case of a primary host system failure.
* Continuous database operations using in-memory data stored in the memory sub-system.
* Improved reliability and data redundancy for critical systems.

== Commercial Applications ==
Title: "Memory Sub-System Failover Technology for Continuous Database Operations"
This technology can be used in mission-critical systems where uninterrupted database operations are essential, such as financial institutions, healthcare facilities, and online retailers.

== Prior Art ==

== Questions about Memory Sub-System Failover Technology ==
=== Question 1 ===
How does the memory sub-system ensure data consistency during failover?

=== Question 2 ===
What are the key differences between the memory device and the storage device in the memory sub-system?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

host system failover via a memory sub-system storing in-memory data for database operations. over a connection from a host interface of the memory sub-system, a first portion of the memory sub-system can be attached to a first host system as a memory device accessible via a first protocol; and a second portion of the memory sub-system can be attached to the first host system as a storage device accessible via a second protocol. a database manager running in the first host system can store the in-memory data in the memory device and store a persistent copy of database records in the storage device. when the first host system fails, the memory sub-system can be reconnected to a second host system to use the in-memory data for continued database operations.
