    Abstract: An energy storage device included in a data center environment can supply energy to a set of solid state drives in the data center environment when power failure or another power event has occurred. In some embodiments, there can be a controller for each solid state drive. The controller can be configured to detect or determine the occurrence of the power failure or other power event and, in response, transmit a command to a respective solid state drive instructing the solid state drive to perform a graceful and atomic shutdown operation, so that data stored on the drive is made durable and the drive enters a quiescent state (e.g., sleep mode, hibernate mode, power-off mode, etc.). As such, the energy storage device can provide protection against power events to solid state drives that lack native (e.g., built-in, inherent, etc.) power protection mechanisms.

    Abstract: A data storage system includes multiple head nodes and data storage sleds. The data storage sleds include multiple mass storage devices and a sled controller. Respective ones of the head nodes are configured to obtain credentials for accessing particular portions of the mass storage devices of the data storage sleds. A sled controller of a data storage sled determines whether a head node attempting to perform a write on a mass storage device of a data storage sled that includes the sled controller is presenting with the write request a valid credential for accessing the mass storage devices of the data storage sled. If the credentials are valid, the sled controller causes the write to be performed and if the credentials are invalid, the sled controller returns a message to the head node indicating that it has been fenced off from the mass storage device.

    Abstract: A power monitoring system monitors the actual configurations of power distribution systems which supply power to computer systems, based on data signals received at the computer systems via the power lines from the power distribution systems. The system determines if an actual power system configuration of a computer system is distinct from a target power system configuration of the computer system. A target configuration can be associated with particular computing operations performed on the computer system and can specify particular power system configurations of computer systems which execute such computing operations. The system can, in response to a determined distinction, adjustably control computing operation execution on the computer system, including adjustably routing data traffic. The system can, in response to a determined distinction, command power distribution system adjustments which mitigate the distinction.

    Abstract: A rack-mountable computer system includes a horizontal divider that divides a chassis interior of the computer system into a first level and a second level. A plurality of electronic components are mounted on the first level and a plurality of electronic components are mounted on a moveable tray of the second level. The horizontal divider includes one or more elongated openings and a plurality of cables that pass through the one or more elongated openings. The plurality of cables connect the electronic components mounted on the first level to the electronic components mounted on the moveable tray. The one or more elongated openings guide the plurality of cables to slide within the one or more elongated openings as the moveable tray is moved into or out of the chassis interior.

    Abstract: Application program data stored in system memory may be selectively persisted. An indication may be provided to an application program that an application data object or a range of application data stored in system memory may be treated as persistent. Data backup may be enabled for the application data object or range of application data in the event of a system failure, copying the application data object or range of application data from system memory to non-volatile data storage. Upon recovery from a system failure, further data backup for the application data object or the range of application data may be disabled. In some embodiments, at least some of the application data object or range of application data may be recovered for the application program to access. Data backup for the application data object or the range of application data may also be re-enabled.
