(Weka) announced it has been assigned three patents, with
thirty-four more patents pending, (10,929,021) for "Quality
of service management in a distributed storage system," (10,936,405)
"Efficient networking for a distributed storage system," and
(10,942,807) "Storage system spanning multiple failure domains," and has been assessed and complies with the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification.
The
abstract of the patent (10,929,021) published by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office states: One or more computing devices may comprise
congestion management circuitry, one or more client file system request
buffers, and DESS interface circuitry. The congestion management
circuitry is operable to determine an amount of congestion in the DESS.
The one or more client file system request buffers is/are operable to
queue first client file system requests of a first priority level and
second client file system requests of a second priority level, wherein
the first priority level is higher priority than the second priority
level. The DESS interface circuitry is operable to control a rate at
which the first file system requests and second file system requests are
fetched from the one or more client file system request buffers based
on the amount of congestion in the DESS, on the first priority level,
and on the second priority level.
The patent (10,929,021) application was filed on May 19, 2017 (15/599773).

The
abstract of the patent (10,936,405) published by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office states: A plurality of computing devices are
communicatively coupled to each other via a network, and each of the
plurality of computing devices is operably coupled to one or more of a
plurality of storage devices. Data communication is made more efficient
by removing the need to copy data in the networking stack, using
hardware accelerated end-to-end checksum calculation, and supporting
transmission formatting of data and header for special cases.
The patent (10,936,405) application was filed on September 5, 2018 (16/121,942).

The
abstract of the patent (10,942,807) published by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office states: A plurality of failure domains are
communicatively coupled to each other via a network, and each of the
plurality of failure domains is coupled to one or more storage devices. A
failure resilient stripe is distributed across the plurality of storage
devices, such that two or more blocks of the failure resilient stripe
are located in each failure domain.
The patent (10,942,807) application was filed on February 14, 2019 (16/275,737).
