Abstract
Managing content is disclosed. An indication that a remote host desires to write a content data to a data repository is received. The remote host is caused to transfer the content data to a branch content store that is nearer to the remote host than the data repository is near to the remote host, by a prescribed measure, and that is configured to transfer the content data asynchronously to the data repository.
Claims16
A method executing on hardware of managing content, comprising:
- receiving an indication that a remote host desires to write a content data to a data repository, wherein the remote host is caused to transfer the content data nearby in the event the remote host provides an additional indication that the remote host desires the content data to be transferred to the data repository asynchronously;
- determining a branch content store that is nearer to the remote host than the data repository is near to the remote host, by a prescribed measure;
- causing the remote host to transfer the content data to the branch content store, wherein the branch content store is configured to transfer the content data asynchronously to the data repository;
- and
- making the content data available directly from the branch content store if a request to retrieve the content data from the data repository is received prior to the content data having been transferred asynchronously from the branch content store to the data repository.
