Systems and methods for optimizing a virtualized communication network are provided. The method comprises monitoring traffic among nodes in a virtualized communication network to determine one or more relationships among the nodes, wherein the nodes include physical and logically defined components; determining whether one or more edges connecting the nodes in the communications network satisfy a rule; grouping the nodes connected by the one or more edges that satisfy the rule into at least one group; ranking the nodes in the group in accordance with a parameter; and implementing a policy to optimize the virtualized communication network in accordance with information determined from the ranking or the grouping of the nodes.

A method for synchronizing data storage systems is provided. The method comprises designating a relationship between a first data storage system and a second data storage system, such that data stored in the first data storage system is copied to the second data storage system, in response to determining that the data stored in the first data storage system has been modified; receiving a first request to modify data stored in a first data block of a first storage volume in the first data storage system, wherein the data block is modified according to the first request; determining that the first data block has not been successfully synchronized when the modified data stored in the first data block is not copied to the second data storage system; and executing a process to retry synchronization of the first data block until synchronization of the first data block is successful, without suspending the relationship while the process is executed.

A storage system and a method for copying data is provided. The method includes storing data at a first storage unit of a primary site, transferring the data from the first storage unit to a second storage unit of a remote site and updating shadow storage unit metadata to reflect the storing of the data at the first storage unit, and copying, in response to the updating of the shadow storage unit metadata, the data from an entity that differs from the shadow storage unit to a third storage unit.

A method for synchronizing data stored on primary and secondary storage volumes in a distributed data recovery system is provided. The method comprises associating N data recovery relationships between a primary volume and N secondary volumes by way of implementing N data structures respectively. Each data structure comprises a first indicator that indicates whether data stored on a first track of the primary volume has been updated, due to a first operation performed by a host application. One or more of the N data structures are stored in at least a first data storage medium with high speed data access rates.
