-- U.S. Patent No. 7,496,555 covers the use of a data fingerprint (such
as a cryptographic hash) so that an application server can access a data
item from a nearby data repository instead of a client sending it over a
lower speed link, and managing content retention of data in that
repository.
-- U.S. Patent No. 7,506,173 covers mechanisms to prevent unauthorized
data sharing by fingerprint, such as deduplication or content-address
storage (CAS), in a content repository.
-- U.S. Patent No. 7,587,617 covers the use of a storage client where
data to be stored that is found to already exist in a public repository,
identified by content fingerprint, is stored by reference in that public
repository, but unique data is stored in a separate private repository.
These new patents continue to build upon Permabit's already extensive storage patent portfolio, including the use of hash-based
deduplication for scalable file and object data storage, Permabit's unique
encrypted deduplication, snapshotting, and many other features of the
company's Scalable Data Reduction™ (SDR) technology which are the
foundation of its Dedupe 2.0
strategy. With these, Permabit has a total of 16 patents covering diverse
areas in data deduplication, protection and archive, and many more filings
are pending in similar areas.
Permabit will be showcasing its patented technology at its booth and during
two
presentations at the SNW Fall 2009 conference at the JW Marriot Desert
Ridge in Phoenix, Arizona. Executives will be on hand to answer questions
at Booth #A5.
