SCALABLE AND SYSTEM-AGNOSTIC REPLICATION MECHANISM BETWEEN ON-PREMISES AND CLOUD STORAGE SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176799 titled 'SCALABLE AND SYSTEM-AGNOSTIC REPLICATION MECHANISM BETWEEN ON-PREMISES AND CLOUD STORAGE SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that can register for notifications to changes in a group of data in data storage, replicate the changes to a replication stream, retrieve the changes from the stream, and replicate the data to a target system based on a replication policy.

  • The system includes a replication component and a notification component.
  • The notification component writes changes in the group of data to a replication stream.
  • The replication component retrieves changes from the replication stream.
  • When a change corresponds to a replication policy, the replication component replicates the data to a target system with different storage types.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in data replication systems, data backup solutions, and real-time data synchronization tools.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures data consistency across different storage systems. 2. Facilitates real-time data replication and synchronization.

Benefits

1. Improved data reliability and availability. 2. Efficient data replication process. 3. Seamless integration with various storage types.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing data backup processes in enterprises, enhancing disaster recovery solutions, and improving data migration tools.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional data replication systems that require manual intervention for data synchronization across different storage systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle conflicts in data replication?

The patent abstract does not mention how conflicts in data replication are resolved, such as when different versions of the same data exist in the source and target systems.

What security measures are in place to protect the replicated data during transmission?

The abstract does not provide details on the security protocols or encryption methods used to secure the data during replication to the target system.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system can register, by a replication component and with a notification component, for notifications to changes in a group of data in data storage, wherein the notification component is configured to write respective changes in the group of data to a replication stream. the system can retrieve, by the replication component, a change of the changes in the group of data from the replication stream. the system can, in response to determining that the change corresponds to a replication policy, replicate, by the replication component, data of the group of data that corresponds to the change to a target system, wherein the replication component is configured to perform a replication on target systems having respective different storage types.
