US 2012/0072459 A1 · DISTRIBUTED DATA STORAGE AND ACCESS SYSTEMS

Abstract

A distributed system for content storage and access includes a storage platform having at least a first storage component, and an access platform having one or multiple access components. Each access component is associated with at least one access service. The access service may be an administrative service for receiving a service request initiated by a first user, the service request being associated with a first item of content, and for identifying a characteristic of the service request, a content management service for determining, based at least in part on the characteristic of the service request, a specification of a data transfer operation to be executed in association with the first storage component, and a directory service for maintaining information associated with the first item of content.

1-22. (canceled)

A method comprising:

receiving, by a server, a request to upload data, where the request includes information identifying one or more values of one or more attributes associated with providing access to the data;
identifying, by the server, a set of schemas, of a plurality of sets of schemas, based on the one or more attributes;
identifying, by the server, a schema of the identified set of schemas, based on the one or more values;
where each schema, of the set of schemas, is associated with at least one of the one or more values and includes a collection of mappings that includes information identifying an arrangement for storing data on one or more storage resources based on the at least one of the one or more values;
and
storing, by the server, the data on the storage resource based on one or more mappings of the collection of mappings.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions including:

one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a request to upload data, where the request includes information identifying one or more values of one or more attributes associated with providing access to the data;
one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to identify a set of resource arrangements for storing the data on one or more storage devices, based on the one or more attributes, where each resource arrangement, of the set of resource arrangements, is associated with at least one of the one or more attributes and includes information identifying a plurality of mappings for storing data on the one or more storage devices;
one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to select a first resource arrangement, of the set of resource arrangements, based on the one or more values;
and
one or more instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to store the data on the one or more storage resources based on the first resource arrangement.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more devices to:
receive a request to upload data, where the request includes information identifying one or more values of one or more attributes associated with providing access to the data,
identify a set of resource arrangements for storing the data on one or more storage devices, based on the one or more attributes, where each resource arrangement, of the set of resource arrangements, is associated with at least one of the one or more attributes and includes information identifying a plurality of mappings for storing data on the one or more storage devices,
select a first resource arrangement, of the set of resource arrangements, based on the one or more values, and
store the data on the one or more storage resources based on the first resource arrangement.
