An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor having programmed instructions to place a first compute resource in a storage node of an object storage platform and to place a second compute resource in a compute node in a client coupled to the object storage platform via a public network. In some embodiments, unstructured data is stored in the storage node. In some embodiments, the first compute resource of the storage node preprocesses the unstructured data. In some embodiments, the preprocessed unstructured data is sent to the compute node. In some embodiments, the second compute resource trains a machine learning (ML) model using the preprocessed unstructured data.

System and method for offloading preprocessing of machine learning data to remote storage

Systems for distributed data storage. A method commences upon accessing a set of data items that describe computing nodes to be organized into a ring topology. The ring topology and distributed data storage policies are characterized by quantitative failure-resilient characteristics such as a replication factor. Various characteristics of the topology serve to bound two or more availability domains of the ring into which the computing nodes can be mapped. A set of quantitative values pertaining to respective quantitative failure-resilient characteristics are used for enumerating candidate ring topologies where the computing nodes are mapped into the availability domains. Using the quantitative failure-resilient characteristics, alternative candidate ring topologies are evaluated so as to determine a configuration score for candidate ring topologies. A candidate ring topology is configured based on a computed configuration score surpassing a threshold score. When a failure event is detected, the ring is reevaluated, remapped, and considered for reconfiguration.

Implementing availability domain aware replication policies

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor having programmed instructions to create a global region that is associated with a first bucket partition and a second bucket partition different from the first bucket partition, provide, to the global region, region information of a source region in which a source object is stored, create a destination region in which a destination object is stored, and provide, to the destination region, from the global region, the region information of the source region. In some embodiments, the source region is in the first bucket partition and the destination region is in the second bucket partition.

System and method for shallow copy

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor having programmed instructions to update a versioned object by appending a latest version of the versioned object to a data structure, read a predetermined version identifier corresponding to the latest version from a pointer entry, and look up the latest version of the versioned object, in the data structure, using the predetermined version identifier corresponding to the latest version of the versioned object.

System and method for supporting versioned objects

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor with programmed instructions to receive a request to process storage data using a compute application, determine that a first location of the storage data is in a first storage resource in a first cluster of compute, storage, and network resources, determine that a second location of the compute application is in a first compute resource of a second cluster of compute, storage, and network resources, determine whether the first cluster includes a second compute resource that is compatible with the compute application, and respectively, either, based on a first compatibility determination, migrate the compute application from the first compute resource to the second compute resource, or, based on a second compatibility determination, replicate the storage data from the first storage resource to a second storage resource in the second cluster.

System and method for hyperconvergence at the datacenter

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor and a memory. In some embodiments, the memory includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to store a first object and a second object in a first region based on the first object and the second object having a first policy. In some embodiments, the memory includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to store a third object in a second region based on the third object having a second policy. In some embodiments, a virtual disk includes the first region and the second region.

System and method for mapping objects to regions

Systems for cluster computing. A method for detection and remediation of degraded nodes in a cluster commences upon measuring operational aspects of the nodes in the cluster, then determining, based on the measurements and other factors, a suspect set of nodes comprising one or more suspect nodes from the nodes in the cluster that have measurements that are determined to be outliers with respect to remaining nodes that are determined not to be the outliers. A density-based spatial clustering analysis is performed over the suspect set and remediation actions are initiated when results of the density-based spatial clustering analysis identifies a suspect node as being a degraded node.

Detection of outlier nodes in a cluster

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor having programmed instructions to map a plurality of objects to a region and map the region to a plurality of vdisks. The plurality of objects are stored in the plurality of vdisks. The processor has programmed instructions to, responsive to mapping the plurality of objects to the region, identify a policy associated with the region. The policy specifies a policy action in response to satisfying a predetermined condition. The processor has programmed instructions to, responsive to satisfying the predetermined condition, access the plurality of vdisks and perform the policy action on the plurality of objects.
