A method for transferring virtual machines across hypervisors is described. According to the method, a data management system may interface with a first hypervisor platform and a second hypervisor platform. The data management system may obtain a snapshot of a first virtual machine executing on the first hypervisor platform. The snapshot may include data and metadata associated with the first virtual machine in a first format that is supported by the first hypervisor platform. The data management system may extract the data and the metadata from the snapshot of the first virtual machine and convert the data and the metadata from the first format to a second format that is supported by the second hypervisor platform. The data management system may transfer the data and the metadata in the second format to a second virtual machine executing on the second hypervisor platform.

Snapshot-based virtual machine transfer across hypervisors

A data storage includes a memory array including a plurality of memory cells, and peripheral circuitry disposed underneath the memory array. The peripheral circuitry includes an M-tier sense amplifier (SA) circuit including X stacks of SA latches, wherein each SA latch is respectively coupled to a bit line of a memory cell of the plurality of memory cells; and an N-tier memory cache data (XDL) circuit including Y stacks of XDL latches, wherein M is less than N, and X is greater than Y. The peripheral circuitry further includes data path circuitry coupling (i) each SA latch of the X stacks of SA latches to (ii) a respective XDL latch of the Y stacks of XDL latches.

Sense amplifier mapping and control scheme for non-volatile memory

An encoder of a storage medium receives, at a plurality of latches respectively associated with a plurality of memory cells, soft data corresponding to data subject to a read operation specified by the a storage controller, compresses the soft data, and stores the compressed soft data in a buffer before transmitting the compressed soft data to the storage controller. Upon the buffer being full, the encoder writes uncompressed soft data back to at least a subset of the plurality of latches, and upon completion of the writing of the uncompressed soft data, the encoder resumes compressing and storing of soft data in the buffer, and transmits the compressed soft data to the storage controller.
