TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLEMENTING FAULT DOMAIN SETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184466 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLEMENTING FAULT DOMAIN SETS

Simplified Explanation

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for provisioning fault domain sets (FDS) in a computer server system to disseminate a storage service across multiple fault domains.

  • The computer server system accesses FDS data specifying the desired state of the FDS.
  • It determines available resources in the fault domains and the current state of the FDS.
  • Based on this information, the system provisions additional fault domains to reconcile the current state with the desired state of the FDS.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Provisioning fault domain sets (FDS) for disseminating a storage service across fault domains.
  • Accessing FDS data to specify the desired state of the FDS.
  • Determining available resources in fault domains and the current state of the FDS.
  • Provisioning additional fault domains to reconcile the current state with the desired state of the FDS.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in cloud computing environments, data centers, and distributed storage systems where fault tolerance and resource optimization are crucial.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently disseminating a storage service across fault domains while ensuring fault tolerance and resource optimization.

Benefits

  • Improved fault tolerance in storage services.
  • Efficient resource utilization across fault domains.
  • Enhanced scalability and reliability of storage systems.

Commercial Applications

  • Cloud service providers can enhance their storage services' fault tolerance and resource utilization.
  • Data centers can optimize resource allocation and improve the reliability of their storage systems.

Prior Art

No prior art information is available at this time.

Frequently Updated Research

There is ongoing research in the field of fault domain provisioning and resource optimization in distributed storage systems that may be relevant to this technology.

Questions about Provisioning Fault Domain Sets

What is the significance of fault domain provisioning in storage systems?

Fault domain provisioning is crucial in ensuring fault tolerance and resource optimization in storage systems by distributing data across multiple fault domains.

How does the technology reconcile the current state of the FDS with the desired state?

The technology analyzes available resources, the current state of the FDS, and the desired state to provision additional fault domains as needed to achieve the desired state.


Original Abstract Submitted

techniques are disclosed relating to provisioning fault domain sets (fds). in some embodiments, a computer server system implements an fds for disseminating a storage service across a plurality of fault domains. to implement the fds, in some embodiments, the computer server system access fds data specifying a desired state of the fds in which the storage service is disseminated across at least a particular number of fault domains. the computer server system may determine available resources of the plurality of fault domains and determine a current state of the fds based on fault domains that have already been provisioned to the fds. based on at least the desired state of the fds, the current state of the fds, and the available resources, the computer server system provisions one or more additional fault domains to the fds to reconcile the fds's current state with the fds's desired state.
