SNAPSHOT MIGRATION BETWEEN CLOUD STORAGE PLATFORMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240232133 titled 'SNAPSHOT MIGRATION BETWEEN CLOUD STORAGE PLATFORMS
The method described in the abstract involves migrating snapshots of a logical storage volume from one cloud storage platform to another by retrieving and caching the corresponding objects before transferring them to the second platform.
- The method involves receiving a request for migration of snapshots from one cloud storage platform to another.
- It includes retrieving the objects corresponding to the snapshots from the first platform and storing them in a cache.
- The contents of the objects are then sent to the second cloud storage platform for storage as new objects.
- This process ensures a smooth and efficient migration of data between cloud storage platforms.
- By caching the objects, the method minimizes the need for repeated retrieval from the first platform, saving time and resources.
Potential Applications: - Data migration between different cloud storage platforms. - Backup and disaster recovery solutions. - Data archiving and storage management.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of migrating snapshots between cloud storage platforms. - Minimizing data transfer times and resource usage. - Ensuring data integrity and consistency during migration.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in data migration processes. - Reduced resource consumption and transfer times. - Enhanced data management and storage capabilities.
Commercial Applications: Title: Cloud Data Migration Solution This technology can be used by cloud service providers, data management companies, and enterprises looking to optimize their data storage and management processes. It can also be marketed as a backup and disaster recovery solution for businesses of all sizes.
Questions about Cloud Data Migration Solution: 1. How does this method improve the efficiency of data migration between cloud storage platforms? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology for data management and storage?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method comprises receiving an input requesting migration of one or more snapshots of a logical storage volume from a first cloud storage platform to a second cloud storage platform, and retrieving one or more first objects corresponding to the one or more snapshots from the first cloud storage platform. the one or more first objects are stored in a cache, and contents of the one or more first objects are sent to the second cloud storage platform for storage as one or more second objects.
