Data Storage Method and Apparatus in Storage System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160528 titled 'Data Storage Method and Apparatus in Storage System
Simplified Explanation
The storage method described in the patent application involves storing data blocks using erasure coding technology in a storage system. Here are the key points of the innovation:
- Calculating check blocks for the first data blocks based on a first erasure coding technology.
- Storing the data blocks and check blocks in storage nodes.
- Updating the erasure coding technology to a second technology.
- Calculating check blocks for second data blocks based on the second erasure coding technology.
Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in cloud storage systems, data centers, and distributed storage systems.
Problems Solved: This technology helps in ensuring data reliability and fault tolerance in storage systems.
Benefits: Increased data reliability, fault tolerance, and efficient storage utilization.
Potential Commercial Applications: Optimized data storage solutions for businesses, cloud service providers, and data-intensive applications.
Possible Prior Art: Previous methods of erasure coding and data storage techniques may exist, but this specific combination of features and processes may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions:
1. How does this technology compare to existing erasure coding methods in terms of efficiency and reliability? 2. Are there any specific industries or use cases where this technology would be particularly beneficial compared to traditional storage methods?
Original Abstract Submitted
a storage method includes: calculating m check blocks of n first data blocks based on a first erasure coding (ec) technology; respectively storing the n first data blocks and the m check blocks of the n first data blocks into (n+m) storage nodes in a storage system; updating the first ec technology to a second ec technology; calculating r check blocks of s second data blocks based on the second ec technology, where s is greater than n, a ratio of s to r is greater than a ratio of n to m, s, r, n, and m are all positive integers, and the second data block is a data block received after the first ec technology is updated to the second ec technology.
