Latest Patents
One of Chaney's latest patents is for a network-attachable, file-accessible storage drive. This invention describes storage drive logic and a standalone tape file structure. The file transfer logic enables the transfer of file data to and from a network according to a first protocol. Additionally, media access logic accesses a sequential-access storage medium associated with the drive according to a second protocol. Media management logic translates file-based commands received from the network into sequential-access device commands, controlling data access by the drive. The storage medium may include a magnetic tape with a data region for storing data in a file format and a table of contents (TOC) region for indexing file locations.
Another notable patent involves methods and systems for providing predictive maintenance, preventative maintenance, and failure isolation in a tape storage subsystem. This system includes a tape cartridge with a magnetic tape medium and a tape drive for reading and writing data. Performance data associated with specific operating loci of the tape drive and medium are collected and analyzed, allowing for trend detection over time. The system can monitor tape usage events and implement preventative maintenance to reduce system outages.
