LOAD MANAGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256161 titled 'LOAD MANAGER
The method described in the abstract involves executing multiple NAS facilities, each implemented as a separate containerized application within master containers, with each facility handling a different file system and interacting with physical storage locations. Load-balancing actions can be triggered by user input, such as relocating a NAS facility to a different master container or adjusting port assignments.
- Each NAS facility is a separate containerized application.
- NAS facilities run inside master containers.
- Each NAS facility manages a different file system.
- User input can trigger load-balancing actions.
- Load-balancing actions include relocating facilities and changing port assignments.
Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - Cloud computing environments - Network-attached storage solutions
Problems Solved: - Efficient resource allocation in storage systems - Load balancing for optimal performance - Scalability and flexibility in managing NAS facilities
Benefits: - Improved system performance - Enhanced resource utilization - Simplified management of storage resources
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Load-Balancing Method for Storage Systems" This technology can be utilized in data centers, cloud service providers, and enterprise storage solutions to enhance performance and scalability. It can also be integrated into network-attached storage products for improved resource management.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method described in the abstract improve the efficiency of storage systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using containerized applications for NAS facilities?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for use in a storage system, the method including: executing a plurality of nas facilities, each of the nas facilities being implemented as a separate containerized application, each of the nas facilities being executed inside a respective one of a plurality of master containers, each of the nas facilities executing a different one of a plurality of file systems, each of the nas facilities being configured to read and write data to one or more physical storage locations; detecting a user input selecting a load-balancing action; and executing the load-balancing action in response to the user input, wherein executing the load-balancing action includes at least one of: (i) relocating a given one of the plurality of nas facilities from a first master container to a second master container, and (ii) changing an assignment of ports to the given one of the plurality of nas facilities.
