Latest Patents

The available information identifies one patent associated with Shyam: “System and Method for Distributed File System I/O Recovery.” The invention describes detecting when a server or network failure interrupts access to a server, then storing failed and newly received I/O requests. Once service is restored—for example, after a network reconnection, server reboot, or cluster failover—the stored requests can be sent to the server so applications can resume I/O in real time. One described approach repeatedly reissues a failed request until it succeeds. The method is designed for varied storage environments, including systems in which clients send I/O directly to storage over a storage network while controlling I/O through a server over a separate network. Shyam is credited with 1 patent.
