Abstract
An approach is provided to automatically replicate content to certain servers in a networking environment based on, amongst other metrics, location of third parties accessing information in a social networking environment. The approach includes obtaining content from a user within a networked environment and analyzing information of one or more third parties that have access to the networked environment and who have an association with the user. The approach further includes replicating the content to one or more servers within the networked environment based on the analyzed information of the one or more third parties.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing device, content originating from a user of a computer network and published on the computer network;
- determining, by the computing device, a subset of third party users of the computer network who are associated with the user on the computer network;
- determining, by the computing device, network usage patterns of the third party users;
- determining, by the computing device, that one or more of the third party users meets a threshold value for certain types of information accessed based on the network usage patterns;
- determining, by the computing device, one or more servers nearest to each of the third party users;
- and
- selectively replicating, by the computing device, the content for storage on respective ones of the one or more servers nearest locations of the one or more of the third party users meeting the threshold value for the certain types of information accessed.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:
- obtain content originating from a user of a computer network and published on the computer network;
- determine a subset of third party users of the computer network who are associated with the user on the computer network;
- determine network usage patterns of the third party users;
- determine whether one or more of the third party users meets a threshold value for certain types of information accessed based on the network usage patterns;
- determine one or more servers nearest to each of the third party users;
- and
- selectively replicate the content for storage on respective ones of the one or more servers nearest locations of the one or more of the third party users determined to meet the threshold value for the certain types of information accessed.
