Dot Hill Makes Storage Smarter and Faster in Real-world Environments
July 2013 by Marc Jacob
Dot Hill Systems Corp., a provider of SAN storage solutions, today announced it has patented a method for improving the performance of AssuredSAN storage systems in real-world environments. The technology enables the storage system to monitor itself, and over time, provides valuable information and makes suggestions to the storage administrator to ensure optimal performance, with less manual monitoring and administration tasks.
Dot Hill’s 89th U.S. patent, numbered 8,312,454, describes technology that provides a system, device, and method for managing one or more data storage systems. Providing automated maintenance of a data storage system and gradual change of management policies, this innovation is capable of changing the configuration of the data storage system and maintaining a log of generated commands for later reference by a system administrator. In addition, this technology can manage the storage array and accomplish specific goals based on the system’s dynamic nature or behaviour.
Dot Hill’s development efforts have resulted in numerous patent awards for its technologies. Dot Hill’s intellectual property, demonstrated by its extensive patent portfolio, stands on three pillars of innovation which, when combined, provide a complete platform for addressing customers’ storage needs. These pillars include software, platforms and systems, which combine to create advanced SAN storage.
