Systems and methods for transformation of logical data objects for storage

A system for optimization of an encrypted logical data object including a plurality of storage sections storing encrypted data, said method comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a storage device coupled to said processor, wherein the storage device is configured to store computer code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• receive a request to store data in the encrypted logical data object,
• determine an amount of outdated encrypted data in each of the plurality of storage sections,
• identify a storage section including an amount of outdated data that is greater than a threshold amount of outdated encrypted data,
• decrypt the outdated encrypted data in the identified storage section to generate outdated data, and
• release the outdated data to free storage space in the identified storage section.

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable memory including a computer readable program code embodied therein for optimization of an encrypted logical data object including a plurality of storage sections storing encrypted data, said computer program product comprising:

• computer code for receiving, by a processor, a request to store data in the encrypted logical data object;
• computer code for determining an amount of outdated encrypted data in each of the plurality of storage sections;
• computer code for identifying a storage section including an amount of outdated data that is greater than a threshold amount of outdated encrypted data;
• computer code for decrypting the outdated encrypted data in the identified storage section to generate outdated data;
• and
• computer code for releasing the outdated data to free space in the identified storage section.
