## Abstract

Embodiments of systems and methods for storing documents in a cloud storage system comprising a cloud processor and a plurality of storage components are disclosed. Particularly, certain embodiments comprise, at the cloud processor, providing at least one storage component attribute for each of the plurality of storage components, the at least one storage component attribute defining a storage property of the respective storage component; receiving a first document to be stored and document metadata associated with the first document, the document metadata defining storage requirement of the first document; translating the document metadata of the first document into a storage instruction; determining, based on storage component attributes, at least one storage component among the plurality of storage components with a defined storage property matching the storage instruction for the first document; and storing the first document in the at least one storage component determined according to the storage instruction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for storing documents in a cloud storage system comprising a cloud processor and a plurality of storage components, the method comprising:
at the cloud processor,
providing at least one storage component attribute for each of the plurality of storage components, the at least one storage component attribute defining a storage property of the respective storage component;
receiving a first document to be stored and document metadata associated with the first document, the document metadata defining a storage requirement of the first document;
translating the document metadata of the first document into a storage instruction;
determining, based on storage component attributes, at least one storage component among the plurality of storage components with a defined storage property matching the storage instruction for the first document; and
storing the first document in the at least one storage component determined according to the storage instruction.
