Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Partitioned Data Replication." This invention describes a system, method, and computer program product for partitioning a file stored on a primary storage device into multiple data blocks. The system can store an index mapping the blocks and the file, allowing for efficient replication. After the initial replication, the system can determine which block has changed by updating the index and comparing it with the original index. This allows for the replication of only the changed block and the updated index to a secondary system.
Another significant patent is "Hierarchical Data Storage." This invention outlines a system, method, and computer program product that utilizes key compression and cached-locking. The computer system can store database files or operating system files in a tree data structure. Data or metadata is stored as key-value pairs in the nodes of the tree, with a hierarchical structure that may correspond to the tree. The system compresses keys by reducing duplicated storage of shared portions, enhancing efficiency in data retrieval.
