Quantum‘s patented system involves a client application using a RESTful interface to write/read data to/from tape media via a REST daemon and data mover. Data is moved between client and tape without landing on primary storage. GlobalData’s report on Quantum gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy. Buy the report here.

Data transfer between client application and tape media without primary storage
The patent (Publication Number: US11961541B2) discloses a system and method for writing data to tape media and reading data from tape media. The system includes a client application and a RESTful interface through which the client application transmits requests to a REST daemon for writing or reading data. The REST daemon then forwards the request to a data mover, which establishes an interface with the client application. The client application can initiate requests for writing or reading data via REST calls to the REST daemon through the RESTful interface. The data mover reads data from the client application and writes it to tape media using a SCSI interface for writing requests, and reads data from tape media and sends it to the client application for reading requests.
Furthermore, the system ensures that data being written to or read from tape media does not pass through primary storage during the process. The integration of the RESTful interface with a SCSI interface enhances the efficiency of data transfer between the client application and the tape media. The method involves transmitting requests from the client application to the REST daemon via the RESTful interface, passing the request to the data mover through an internal interface, and establishing an interface between the data mover and the client application. This innovative system and method provide a streamlined approach to writing and reading data to and from tape media, offering a more efficient and secure data management solution for storage systems.
