| 20090271540 | STORAGE APPARATUS AND DATA TRANSFER METHOD - This storage apparatus includes multiple controllers, a transfer path, and multiple processors. Each of the multiple controllers is connected to the same or a different processor. A first processor connected to a controller that received a transfer command from the host system determines, based on the transfer command, a first controller to become a transfer source of data and a second controller to become a transfer destination of the data, and determines a path belonging to the transfer path between the first controller and second controller. If there are multiple paths, a path in which the number of controllers connected other than to the second controller becomes maximum as a specific path, and the multiple processors transfer data between the first controller and the second controller along with the specific path. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100023655 | Data Storage Apparatus and Method of Data Transfer - A data storage apparatus having improved data transfer performance. The storage apparatus has: plural controllers connected to each other by first data transfer paths; plural processors controlling the controllers; and second data transfer paths through which the controllers send data to various devices. Each of the controllers has a data-processing portion for transferring data to the first and second data transfer paths. The data-processing portion has a header detection portion for detecting first header information constituting data, a selection portion for selecting data sets having continuous addresses of transfer destination and using the same data transfer path from plural data sets such that a coupled data set is created from the selected data sets, a header creation portion for creating second header information about the coupled data set, and coupled data creation means for creating the coupled data set from the selected data sets and from the second header information. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100246372 | Combination Type Optical Disk Medium, Its Reproduction Method And Optical Disk Apparatus - A combination type optical disk medium and recording or reproducing method in which the medium include first and second recording layers based on different recoding densities. First and second volume spaces are formed to the first and second recording layers, respectively. Each volume space includes identification information of a head or end of the volume space, and an area for data. One of the volume spaces is recorded with identification information of the other volume space. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100274935 | STORAGE APPARATUS AND DATA TRANSFER METHOD - A storage method including: controlling transfer of data between a host system and a storage device using a plurality of controllers connected to the host system and the storage device, where the controllers are interconnected via a data transfer path; and controlling the controllers using a plurality of processors connected to the controllers, wherein each of the plurality of controllers is connected to the same or a different processor; and wherein a first processor connected to a controller that received a transfer command from the host system creates, as header information of a packet of a first controller to become a transfer source: identifying information of the first controller and a second controller to become a transfer destination, identifying information of the transfer path between the first controller and the second controller, and identifying information of a controller which is between first and second controller to be routed upon transferring the data. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110197011 | STORAGE APPARATUS AND INTERFACE EXPANSION AUTHENTICATION METHOD THEREFOR - Degradation of data transfer performance is restrained during data transfer for minoring between first and second controllers. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110238914 | STORAGE APPARATUS AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD FOR THE SAME - The present invention aims for efficient use of storage capacity in a storage system by reducing the amount of time taken for processing including removing redundancy and data compression executed with respect to transferred data. | 09-29-2011 |
