STORAGE TIERING FOR COMPUTING SYSTEM SNAPSHOTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240311346 titled 'STORAGE TIERING FOR COMPUTING SYSTEM SNAPSHOTS

The abstract of this patent application describes a data management system (DMS) that enables the tiering of snapshots on cloud environments. The DMS can instruct cloud environments to store snapshots in different types of cloud storage based on predefined thresholds.

• The DMS can signal a cloud environment to capture and store a first snapshot of a computing object in a first type of cloud storage.
• It can determine when the first snapshot has been stored for a duration that meets an archival threshold.
• Once the archival threshold is met, the DMS can instruct the cloud environment to move the first snapshot to a second type of cloud storage with longer access latency.

Potential Applications: - Cloud storage management systems - Data archival systems - Cloud computing environments

Problems Solved: - Efficient storage tiering of snapshots in cloud environments - Automated management of snapshot storage based on predefined thresholds

Benefits: - Optimal use of cloud storage resources - Simplified management of snapshot storage - Cost-effective data archival solutions

Commercial Applications: Title: Cloud Snapshot Storage Tiering System This technology could be used in cloud service providers, data centers, and enterprises to optimize storage resources and automate snapshot management processes.

Prior Art: Researchers and developers can explore existing cloud storage management systems, data tiering technologies, and snapshot storage solutions to understand the evolution of this innovation.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in cloud storage management, data tiering algorithms, and snapshot storage technologies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of snapshot storage tiering systems.

Questions about Cloud Snapshot Storage Tiering System: 1. How does the DMS determine when to move a snapshot to a different type of cloud storage? The DMS evaluates the duration for which a snapshot has been stored in the current storage type and compares it to predefined archival thresholds to decide when to initiate the storage tiering process.

2. What are the key benefits of using a data management system for snapshot storage tiering in cloud environments? The main benefits include optimized storage resource utilization, simplified snapshot management, and cost-effective data archival solutions.

Original Abstract Submitted

a data management system (dms) may facilitate the storage tiering of snapshots on cloud environments. for example, the dms may transmit snapshot signaling to a first cloud environment that instructs the first cloud environment to capture a first snapshot of a computing object and to store the first snapshot in a first type of cloud storage at the first cloud environment. the dms may determine that the first snapshot has been stored in the first type of cloud storage for a duration of time that satisfies an archival threshold. based on the archival threshold being satisfied, the dms may transmit archival signaling that instructs the first cloud environment to store the first snapshot to a second type of cloud storage. the second type of cloud storage may be associated with a longer access latency than the first type of cloud storage.
