DATA PROTECTION AND RECOVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303159 titled 'DATA PROTECTION AND RECOVERY
Abstract: A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) protection can be provided along with other types of error correction code (ECC) schemes that can correct residual bit errors. The bit errors correctable by the ECC schemes not only include those errors that have been existing in input data used for the RAID process, but also those bit errors may have been propagated due to the existing errors.
- Simplified Explanation:
- The patent application discusses how RAID protection can be enhanced with ECC schemes to correct bit errors. - It focuses on correcting residual bit errors in input data used for the RAID process.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Integration of ECC schemes with RAID for enhanced error correction. - Correction of residual bit errors in input data. - Propagation of bit errors due to existing errors is also addressed.
- Potential Applications:
- Data storage systems. - Network servers. - Cloud computing infrastructure.
- Problems Solved:
- Residual bit errors in RAID systems. - Propagated bit errors due to existing errors.
- Benefits:
- Improved data integrity. - Enhanced error correction capabilities. - Increased reliability of RAID systems.
- Commercial Applications:
- Data centers. - IT infrastructure providers. - Storage solution companies.
- Prior Art:
- Research on ECC schemes in data storage systems. - Studies on RAID technology and error correction methods.
- Frequently Updated Research:
- Ongoing developments in ECC algorithms for data storage. - Advancements in RAID technology for error correction.
Questions about RAID and ECC: 1. How do ECC schemes enhance the error correction capabilities of RAID systems? - ECC schemes provide additional layers of error correction to RAID systems, improving data integrity and reliability.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of integrating ECC schemes with RAID technology? - One potential drawback could be increased computational overhead due to the additional error correction processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
a redundant array of independent disks (raid) protection can be provided along with other types of error correction code (ecc) schemes that can correct residual bit errors. the bit errors correctable by the ecc schemes not only include those errors that have been existing in input data used for the raid process, but also those bit errors may have been propagated due to the existing errors.
