US 2012/0239815 A1 · DISTRIBUTED DIFFERENTIAL STORE WITH NON-DISTRIBUTED OBJECTS AND COMPRESSION-ENHANCING DATA-OBJECT ROUTING

Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a distributed, differential electronic-data storage system that includes client computers, component data-storage systems, and a routing component. Client computers direct data objects to component data-storage systems within the distributed, differential electronic-data storage system. Component data-storage systems provide data storage for the distributed, differential electronic-data storage system. The routing component directs data objects, received from the clients computers, through logical bins to component data-storage systems by a compression-enhancing routing method.

Dependent claims

A storage system comprising:

a portal comprising a computer, wherein the portal is to:
map logical bins to corresponding component data-storage systems that provide a distributed, differential data storage;
receive data objects from at least one client computer;
and
direct the data objects through the logical bins to the component data-storage systems, wherein the portal is to direct the data objects to the component data-storage systems according to compression-enhancing routing that routes the data objects to the component data-storage systems based on determination by the portal of which of the component data-storage systems provides increased compression of each respective one of the data objects relative to another of the component data-storage systems.
