System and Method for Managing Cloud-based Data Ownership Using Access Requests

A computing system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to process a first data access request from a first computing device for accessing a cloud storage portion of a plurality of cloud storage portions associated with a cloud-based storage resource, to obtain a current ownership sequence identifier associated with a current computing device connection table for the cloud storage portion, to compare the current ownership sequence identifier from the cloud storage portion to a previously obtained ownership sequence identifier associated with a previous computing device connection table for the cloud storage portion on the first computing device, to effectuate the first data access request on the cloud storage portion when:
• the current ownership sequence identifier is identical to the previously obtained ownership sequence identifier, and the first computing device is included in the current computing device connection table, to process a second data access request from the second computing device for accessing the cloud storage portion, to update the current computing device connection table associated with the cloud storage portion to include the second computing device, to increment the current ownership sequence identifier associated with the cloud storage portion, and to effectuate the second data access request on the cloud storage portion.

A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• processing a first write request from a first computing device for writing data to a cloud storage portion of a plurality of cloud storage portions associated with a cloud-based storage resource;
• obtaining a current ownership sequence identifier associated with a current computing device connection table for the cloud storage portion;
• comparing the current ownership sequence identifier from the cloud storage portion to a previously obtained ownership sequence identifier associated with a previous computing device connection table for the cloud storage portion on the first computing device;
• effectuating the first write request on the cloud storage portion when:
• the current ownership sequence identifier is identical to the previously obtained ownership sequence identifier, and the first computing device is included in the current computing device connection table;
• detecting a new connection between a second computing device and the cloud storage portion;
• processing a second data access request from the second computing device for accessing the cloud storage portion;
• incrementing the current ownership sequence identifier associated with the cloud storage portion;
• and
• effectuating the second data access request on the cloud storage portion.
