Methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing media content analysis, distribution, and re-allocation services

A system for implementing media content analysis, distribution, and re-allocation across a network, comprising, comprising:

• a computer processing device;
• and
• a neural network analyzer and reallocation application executing on the computer processing device;
• the neural network analyzer and the reallocation application cooperatively implementing a method, comprising:
• configuring tiered storage locations for the media content based upon proximity of the storage locations to an Internet Protocol device;
• analyzing factors that impact access to, and quality of, the media content provided over the network, the factors comprising
• popularity of the media content,
• costs of transporting the media content through the network,
• timing of demand for the media content, and
• costs of storage space;
• identifying a current storage location of the media content;
• creating decision criteria and metrics for re-allocating selected media content to alternate storage locations in response to the analyzing, the alternate storage locations forming at least a portion of the tiered storage locations;
• re-allocating the selected media content to at least one of the alternate storage locations in response to the analyzing;
• and
• updating an inventory database to reflect the at least one of the alternate storage locations of the selected media content.

A computer program product for implementing media content analysis, distribution, and re-allocation across a network, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium including instructions embodied thereon, which when executed by a computer cause the computer to implement a method, the method comprising:
