Distributed storage reservation for recovering distributed data

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code to be executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code including instructions to:

• identify a total number of connected computers, a storage capacity of each of the connected computers, and a maximum storage capacity of the identified storage capacities of the connected computers;
• determine a reserved storage capacity based on the maximum storage capacity and a reduced total number of connected computers;
• provision the reserved storage capacity in each of the connected computers;
• store a plurality of replicas of a database on a plurality of the connected computers and on a plurality of computers, the plurality of computers being one of the same as and different than the connected computers;
• identify that one of the connected computers storing one of the plurality of replicas of the database is unavailable;
• and
• restore a replica of the database from at least one-of the computers storing one of the plurality of replicas to the reserved storage capacity in each of a plurality of available connected computers.
