Abstract: Systems for cloud-based storage systems. Embodiments commence upon deploying a server in a cloud-based environment, such that the server is configured to interface with one or more storage facilities that are accessible over a network by the server to provide cloud-based storage services in response to a storage command originating from a user terminal. The deployed server is connected to the network such that the server receives storage commands that pertain to one or more source objects that are associated with a set of source attributes. A policy manager applies one or more source-aware storage policies by determining a set of storage policies based at least in part on the one or more associated source attributes. The policy manager accesses a routing table of target storage locations and, in accordance with the source-aware policies, sends source objects over the network to one or more of the target storage locations.

Abstract: One or more servers are deployed in a cloud-based environment such that the cloud-based servers are configured to interface with one or more object processing target sites. In response to an object processing command, various combinations of feasible activities to perform at feasible target sites (e.g., object processing sites) are considered so as to generate object processing scenarios capable of executing object processing commands while observing constraints that may derive from the nature of, and/or attributes pertaining to the object processing sites. A scenario including a determination of one or more target sites is selected from the considered object processing scenarios. The selected one or more target sites are used to activate the object processing commands (e.g., for computation and/or for storage activities). A target site may be a country or state or other jurisdiction that inures benefits (e.g., tax benefits) and/or limitations (e.g., import/export limitations) pertaining to specific activities.
