摘要： A method of managing remote storage sets retention grace period, an archive retention period, and a backup retention period all equal to the same time period. In response to receiving a request to migrate a file to remote storage by any one of HSM, archive, or backup, the method creates a stub of the file, stores the stub in local storage, moves the file to remote storage, and backs up the file at the remote storage. In response to receiving a request to access an HSM file, the method determines if the requested file is in HSM remote storage; if so, the method returns the requested file from remote storage; if not; the method determines if the requested file is in archive remote storage or backup storage and, if so, returns the requested file from said remote storage. In response to receiving a request to access an archived file, the method determines if the requested file is in archive remote storage; if so, the method returns the requested file; if not, the method determines if the requested file is in HSM remote storage or backup remote storage and, if so, returns the requested. In response to receiving a request to access a backup file, the method determines if the requested file is in backup remote storage; if so, the method returns the requested file; if not, the method determining if the requested file is in archive remote storage or HSM remote storage and, if so, returns the requested file.

摘要： A grid application and storage system to enhance data access. The grid application and storage system comprises a plurality of grid application storage nodes with at least one storage system, said grid application storage nodes being remote to each other and connected via inter-connections; at least one application process distributed across said grid application storage nodes; and at least one grid node control process also distributed across said grid application storage nodes, said grid node control process managing grid application storage node operations. A plurality of client systems are connected to said grid application and storage system via a network for deploying said application process and accessing application data stored on said grid application storage nodes.

摘要： The present invention can include an automated method that optimizes the selection of a node in a distributed file system (DFS) to fulfill a client request. Such a method can begin when a client request is received by a master node of a distributed file system (DFS). The DFS can include a multitude of DFS nodes capable of accessing various resources. Two or more DFS nodes can be preselected to fulfill the client request. Each preselected DFS node can then participate in a voting process to dynamically determine the response DFS node that can optimally respond to the client request. The client request can be fulfilled by response DFS node, utilizing the DFS node best capable of servicing the client request.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for reducing the backup time of data files from a memory. Data files are pre-staged by identifying the data files in the memory to be backed up to a backup storage system, sorting the data files by size thereby forming a set of small data files and a set of large data files, and copying the set of small data files to a cache while leaving the set of large data files in a disk subsystem. The set of small data files are then backed-up from the cache and the set of large data files are backed-up from the disk subsystem to a backup storage system. Thus, the time required to backup the set of small data files from the cache is performed at a faster rate as compared to backing up the set of large data files from the disk subsystem.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种减少数据文件从存储器的备份时间的机制。 数据文件通过识别要备份到备份存储系统的内存中的数据文件进行预分类，按尺寸对数据文件进行排序，从而形成一组小数据文件和一组大数据文件，并复制集 将小数据文件导出到高速缓存，同时将一组大型数据文件留在磁盘子系统中。 然后从缓存中备份一组小型数据文件，并将大量数据文件集从磁盘子系统备份到备份存储系统。 因此，与从磁盘子系统备份一组大型数据文件相比，从缓存中备份一组小数据文件所需的时间以更快的速度执行。
