Abstract
A storage gateway for managing data includes a persistent storage and a processor. The persistent storage includes data category mappings and data category storage policies. The processor obtains a data storage request for data from a client; assigns the data to a first category specified by the data category mappings; stores the data in a first storage based on a storage policy specified by the data category storage policies; and, after storing the data in the first storage, migrates the data to a second storage in response to a change in the association between the data category mappings and the data category storage policies.
Claims20
A storage gateway for managing data, comprising:
- a persistent storage comprising:
- data category mappings, and
- data category storage policies;
- and
- a processor programmed to:
- obtain a data storage request for data from a client;
- assign the data to a first category specified by the data category mappings;
- store the data in a first storage based on a storage policy specified by the data category storage policies;
- after storing the data in the first storage, migrate the data to a second storage in response to a change in the association between the data category mappings and the data category storage policies.
A method of operating a storage gateway for managing data, comprising:
- obtaining a data storage request for data from a client;
- assigning the data to a first category specified by data category mappings;
- storing the data in a first storage based on a storage policy specified by data category storage policies;
- after storing the data in the first storage, migrating the data to a second storage in response to a change in the association between the data category mappings and the data category storage policies.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for operating a storage gateway for managing data, the method comprising:
- obtaining a data storage request for data from a client;
- assigning the data to a first category specified by data category mappings;
- storing the data in a first storage based on a storage policy specified by data category storage policies;
- after storing the data in the first storage, migrating the data to a second storage in response to a change in the association between the data category mappings and the data category storage policies.
