The data-duplicating expander device may include a direct-attached SAS expander configured for direct duplication of data from source disks to destination disks by bypassing transfer to or from a host system. The device may include dedicated expander phys and a processor. The device may be configured to receive instructions from an initiator storage-topology-connected device to configure or start a data transfer. The data-duplicating expander device may be configured to receive source data from source disks by utilizing dedicated expander phys and may be configured to transfer destination data directly and simultaneously to the destination disks by utilizing dedicated expander phys, said destination data being associated with the source data. Directly transferring destination data bypasses transfer of the source data or the destination data to or from a host system. | 05-30-2013 |
20130139184 | METHOD FOR EMBEDDING A HOST DRIVER WITHIN A DEVICE - The present invention is directed to a method of operation of a host system by which the host system obtains a driver necessary for running a device (ex.—peripheral device, such as a USB stick, printer, etc.) connected to the host system in an operating system of the host system. In the method(s) disclosed herein, the driver (ex.—host driver) is embedded within in an on-board memory of the device itself. The host system queries the device to determine if and where within the device the driver is located and uploads the driver from the peripheral device. This promotes improved efficiency since the host does not have to store drivers it may not need, but can just obtain the driver from the peripheral device once the peripheral device is connected to the host. | 05-30-2013 |
20140172797 | Method and Apparatus to Share a Single Storage Drive Across a Large Number of Unique Systems When Data is Highly Redundant - A boot appliance for writing data to a particular host system's boot image and returning boot image data to a particular host system of a plurality of host systems. The boot appliance includes at least one storage medium, wherein the at least one storage medium is configured to store a base boot image and a plurality of variance boot images. The boot appliance further includes a buffer. The base boot appliance also includes a computer readable medium embodying computer code configured to cause the boot appliance to perform a method for writing data to a particular host system's boot image and for returning boot image data to a particular host system of a plurality of host systems. | 06-19-2014 |
