COOKIE-BASED NETWORK LOCATION OF STORAGE NODES IN CLOUD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240357009 titled 'COOKIE-BASED NETWORK LOCATION OF STORAGE NODES IN CLOUD
The abstract describes techniques for storing location information about storage nodes in cookies within a cloud-based service. The service sends location requests to an orchestration service to identify the computer zone of a storage node, storing this information in cookies at a shared metadata store. When a client node sends a search request for specific data, the service returns a set of cookies corresponding to storage nodes, allowing the client to determine if a node storing the data is in the same computer zone.
- Cloud-based service stores location information about storage nodes in cookies
- Location requests sent to orchestration service to identify storage node's computer zone
- Information stored in cookies at a shared metadata store
- Client nodes can search for specific data and receive cookies corresponding to storage nodes
- Enables clients to determine if data is stored in a node within the same computer zone
Potential Applications: - Cloud storage services - Data retrieval and location tracking - Resource optimization in cloud computing environments
Problems Solved: - Efficient storage node location tracking - Improved data retrieval processes - Enhanced resource allocation in cloud-based services
Benefits: - Faster data retrieval - Optimized resource utilization - Enhanced user experience in cloud services
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Data Retrieval and Resource Optimization in Cloud Services" This technology can be applied in cloud storage platforms, data management systems, and cloud computing services to improve data retrieval efficiency and optimize resource allocation. It can benefit companies offering cloud-based solutions by enhancing user experience and streamlining data access processes.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does storing location information in cookies improve data retrieval processes in cloud-based services? 2. What are the potential security implications of storing location information in cookies within a shared metadata store?
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are disclosed relating to storing location information about storage nodes in cookies. a cloud-based service may send location requests to an orchestration service that instantiated storage nodes included in a storage cluster of the cloud-based service. the cloud-based service may receive location information that identifies in which computer zone that a given storage node is located. the cloud-based service may store the location information in cookies at a metadata store that is shared among the storage nodes. the cloud-based service may receive, from a client node, a search request to identify ones of the storage nodes that store particular data. the cloud-based service may return a set of cookies corresponding to identified storage nodes. the set of cookies may enable the client node to determine whether there is a storage node that stores the particular data and is within the same computer zone as the client node.
