IPC Code(s): G06F3/06
Abstract: techniques for processing compressed data involve: determining, based on parsing of a header of a compressed data packet, a size of original data corresponding to compressed data, wherein the compressed data packet comprises the header, compressed metadata, and the compressed data. the techniques further involve: allocating, based on the size of the original data, a shared buffer space for receiving and converting the compressed metadata and the compressed data; and storing the compressed data packet in the shared buffer space. the shared buffer space can be used for the receiving and conversion processing of compressed data at the same time, without allocating a separate buffer space for each processing, thereby improving the memory efficiency. since the allocated shared buffer space is used for both receiving processing and conversion processing, the complexity of configuration of a memory pool is also reduced.

Abstract: embodiments of the invention relate to generating backups of assets. more specifically, in one or more embodiments of the invention, the meta-data generated during the backups is leveraged for detecting cyber-attacks by leveraging backup meta-data, to reduce the amount of data that needs to be scanned by a cyber-security module to detect a cyber-attack, such as a ransomware attack. this allows any attacks to be detected earlier and reduce processing by leveraging the periodic backups that are performed as part of data protection, to detect when an attack has or is occurring. by making these determinations, a quick identification of possible ransomware attacks may be made and other methods of mitigating the attack may be deployed when the method of mitigating the attack might still be useful to mitigate potential damage to a user's data.

Abstract: data protection including malware response operations are disclosed. when a production system is attacked, the malware is allowed to run in a forensic environment in order to learn its operational characteristics. once learned, a return malware can be placed in the data. the return malware is transmitted to a malware host system by the malware itself and executed.

Abstract: data protection including malware response operations are disclosed. when a production system is attacked, the malware is allowed to run in a forensic environment in order to learn its operational characteristics. the forensic environment includes a working scenario that may be prepared in advance with false data that allows the malware to communicate with a malware host system. once the operational characteristics are learned, a return malware can be placed in the data. the return malware is transmitted to a malware host system by the malware itself and executed.

Abstract: automated research experimentation on malware is disclosed. when malware is detected, an infected backup is generated. the infected backup is deployed to multiple working environments as recovered production systems, starting from the same state. different scenarios are performed on the recovered production systems to learn the operational characteristics of the malware operating in the recovered production systems. the insights may be used to protect against the malware and/or other malware.

Abstract: one example method includes receiving at a client node of a federation a global machine-learning model that is to be trained by the client node using a training dataset that is local to the client node. in response to receiving the global machine-learning model, determining at the client node if the global machine-learning model is trending toward an overfitted state using a validation dataset. the overfitted state indicates that the global machine-learning model has not been received from a server that is part of the federation because of a client isolation attack. in response to determining that the global machine-learning model is trending towards the overfitting state, causing the client node to leave the federation. in response to determining that the global machine-learning model is not trending towards the overfitted state, training the global machine-learning model using the training dataset to thereby update the global machine-learning model.

Abstract: the cause of a failure to satisfy a high priority service level objective of a storage object or storage group is localized within a storage array. storage objects that have been assigned low priority service level objectives are analyzed to determine whether their performance paths overlap with the performance path of the high priority service level objective storage object or storage group at the location of the cause of the failure. the low priority service level objective storage objects having performance paths that overlap with the performance path of the high priority service level objective storage object or storage group at the location of the cause of the failure are targeted for io data rate reduction in order to free resources to restore compliance with the high priority service level objective. the other low priority service level objective storage objects are not targeted.

Abstract: embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for efficiently sharing assets such as files and folders between a host computer system and a client computer system while minimizing the amount of work the client must perform to efficiently transfer an asset. in one or more embodiments, assets such as files and folders that are to be shared or transferred are placed in appropriate network slice queues by the hosts rather than the clients. these network slice queues allow the files and folders to be placed in slices without utilizing the resources of the clients as well as much of the available network resources. this ensures efficient use of network resources, while minimizing the amount of work the hosts and/or clients must perform in order to perform a backup.
