Application: Data protection component scaling in a cloud-based data storage system (Patent ID: US20230388274A1)
The patent filed by CommVault Systems Inc. describes a system that can dynamically add proxy data protection agents to a cloud data storage system to process data protection jobs efficiently. After completing the job, the system can power down and decommission these agents and virtual machines based on a cleanup schedule, saving costs and computing resources through efficient deployment and retirement. The system considers existing proxies and virtual machines when processing backup requests to determine the need for new proxies, improving resource allocation.
The patent includes claims related to an information management apparatus that calculates the number of agents needed based on job information, installs these agents on virtual machines within a group of computing resources, and assigns each agent to a client for information management operations. The system can interact with cloud resources through an API, analyze job information to determine the number of agents required, and manage the power state of virtual machines based on agent and machine activity levels. Additionally, the method outlined in the patent involves calculating the number of agents based on factors like the total number of clients, data size, and agent throughput value, ensuring efficient resource allocation and management in information management operations.
