Compuverde Broadens IP Portfolio with New U.S. Patents for Software-Defined Storage Innovations

KARLSKRONA, Sweden, Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's global enterprise is seeking storage solutions that can not only scale to support the massive wave of data created by the Internet of Things, but can also be accessed from any location in the world. Compuverde today announced the further expansion of its patent portfolio with the issuance of United States Patent numbers 8850019 B2, 8769138 B2 and 8843710 B2.

The patents – which cover innovations in distributed data storage, distributed data retrieval and multi-node data maintenance – support Compuverde's standing as the most comprehensive software-defined storage solution available in the industry today.

• New data retrieval and maintenance capabilities: Compuverde received patents for its method for data retrieval from a distributed data storage system, as well as for a method and device for maintaining data in a data storage system that comprise a plurality of data storage nodes.
• Distributed data storage: A third patent was awarded for a distributed data storage system comprising a plurality of storage nodes. The system ensures that data is sufficiently spread to provide efficient and reliable replication of data in case a storage node malfunctions.
• Patent family expands: Previous patents include those protecting innovations in data migration, self-healing and horizontal scaling of storage nodes.
• Global patent presence: Compuverde's patent family has grown to include 13 patents and patent applications in all major global regions, including the U.S., European Patent Office, China, Japan and Eurasia.

Stefan Bernbo, CEO and founder, Compuverde, said:
