ELIMINATING DATA RESYNCHRONIZATION IN CYBER RECOVERY SOLUTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176713 titled 'ELIMINATING DATA RESYNCHRONIZATION IN CYBER RECOVERY SOLUTIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for recovering a primary image using consistent snapshots on primary and secondary storage arrays. This process eliminates the need to transmit entire secondary replicas of storage objects, making the recovery more efficient.

  • Primary and secondary storage arrays are used to generate consistent snapshots of primary and secondary replicas, respectively.
  • The primary image is recovered by linking consistent snaps on the primary storage array to primary staging volumes, linking consistent snaps on the secondary storage array to secondary staging volumes, synchronizing the staging volumes, and migrating host IO traffic to the synchronized volumes.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in data recovery and backup systems, disaster recovery solutions, and storage management tools.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient recovery of primary images without the need to transmit entire secondary replicas. 2. Simplified and streamlined process for recovering data from storage arrays.

Benefits

1. Faster recovery times for primary images. 2. Reduced network bandwidth usage during recovery processes. 3. Improved data management and storage efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Primary Image Recovery Technology for Data Centers"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of consistent snapshots in storage systems for data recovery and backup purposes.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact data security during the recovery process?

This technology focuses on the efficiency of recovering primary images, but it does not address potential security implications during the recovery process. It would be important to understand how data security is maintained and protected while using this method.

What are the scalability limitations of this technology in large storage environments?

While the abstract describes a method for recovering primary images efficiently, it does not mention the scalability limitations of this technology in large storage environments. Understanding how this method performs in high-capacity storage systems would be crucial for its practical implementation.


Original Abstract Submitted

recovery of a primary image is facilitated by using consistent snapshots on a primary storage array and consistent snapshots on a secondary storage array to avoid the need to transmit entire secondary replicas of storage objects from the secondary storage array to the primary storage array. consistent snaps of the primary replicas are generated by the primary storage array. consistent snaps of the secondary replicas are generated by the secondary storage array. the primary image is recovered by linking consistent snaps on the primary storage array to primary staging volumes, linking consistent snaps on the secondary storage array to secondary staging volumes, synchronizing the primary and secondary staging volumes, and migrating host io traffic to the synchronized staging volumes.
