Abstract:
An improved data storage apparatus, including an improved storage controller, is disclosed that enables the acceleration of datacenter software, by making it easier to deploy application software portions (applets) onto storage devices, in a manner that best supports runtime performance acceleration of storage-network-latency-throttled applications. Means are defined for how server hosted applications cause to have provisioned, initiate execution of, and work with a multitude of applets on a multitude of storage devices, proximate to storage contents. This invention supports the multi-exabyte growth of data storage, by scaling performance acceleration linearly with the growth in the number of storage devices. This in turn supports the evolving cloud and Enterprise Cognitive Computing datacenter by providing the infrastructure necessary for accelerating applications that face enormous heterogeneous datasets. This includes Big Data Analytics of problems that have eluded successful analysis.

Claim (Index 1):
An improved data storage apparatus, comprising:\n a data storage component; a storage controller processor associated with said data storage component and operative to receive and execute multiple operational Storage Controller Application Programs (SCAPs) and/or operational Storage Controller Interface Programs (SCIPs) and/or other software; means for coupling said storage apparatus to host computers and/or other digital systems via a digital network or communication system; a storage controller program store for receiving and storing SCAPs, SCIPs and/or other software from the host computers and/or other digital systems; means for installing the stored SCAPs and/or SCIPs and/or other software into said storage controller program store; means for causing the installed SCAPs and/or SCIPs and/or other software to start to execute on said storage controller processor; and means for causing the operational SCAPS and/or operational SCIPs and/or other executing software to be inter-operatively associated with server-hosted analytics application software (SHAAs) and/or other software executing on a host computer and/or other digital system; whereby the collaborative combination of the SCAPs and/or SCIPs and/or other software executing on said storage controller processor, and the software executing on the host computer and/or other digital system positions SCAP operations, including search operations, proximate to stored data, whereby the SCAP and SCIP and other installed software can be tailored to the contents of the improved data storage apparatus as well as to the improved data storage apparatus's operational characteristics, thereby enabling more efficient operations including an improved and faster deep search, and/or reducing the elapsed time to completion of the software executing on the host computer and/or executing on other digital systems, and/or reducing the execution run-time CPU-cycles of the software executing on the host computer and/or executing on other digital systems, and/or reducing network congestion by reducing network traffic by reducing the number of host computer-to-storage roundtrips, and/or enabling deeper search and resident continuous re-search, as data streams on to said improved data storage apparatus and/or as data on the improved data storage apparatus is modified by other means, so as to discover results that might not be discovered in any other way.
