Abstract
A system and method for increased efficiency thin provisioning of data storage. The method includes: receiving a request for storage allocation from a client device; and allocating, to the client device, at least a portion of a first storage of the plurality of storages when a garbage collector of the first storage is turned off.
Claims20
A method for increased efficiency thin provisioning of a thin provisioned storage system including a plurality of storages, comprising:
- receiving a request for storage allocation from a client device;
- and
- allocating, to the client device, at least a portion of a first storage of the plurality of storages when a garbage collector of the first storage is turned off.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process, the process comprising:
- receiving a request for storage allocation from a client device;
- and
- allocating, to the client device, at least a portion of a first storage of the plurality of storages when a garbage collector of the first storage is turned off.
A system for increased efficiency thin provisioning of a thin provisioned storage system including a plurality of storages, comprising:
- a processing circuitry;
- and
- a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
- receive a request for storage allocation from a client device;
- and
- allocate, to the client device, at least a portion of a first storage of the plurality of storages when the garbage collector of the first storage is turned off.
A thin provisioned storage system, comprising:
- a plurality of storages, each storage further comprising a garbage collector;
- a processing circuitry;
- and
- at least one memory, the at least one memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the thin provisioned storage system to:
- receive a request for storage allocation from a client device;
- and
- allocate, to the client device, at least a portion of a first storage of the plurality of storages when the garbage collector of the first storage is turned off.
