CLOUD-BASED FILE AND OBJECT ARCHIVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256484 titled 'CLOUD-BASED FILE AND OBJECT ARCHIVE

The disclosed data storage management system allows data owners to model the costs and attributes of archiving their data, enabling them to make informed choices before data is actually archived. Archiving plans created based on these choices aim to reduce data storage costs and create a compliance-ready data archive in cloud storage repositories. By utilizing archiving simulations provided by the system, data owners can control data placement, predict costs, free up primary storage, and move inactive data to more cost-effective archive storage.

  • Data owners can model the costs and attributes of archiving their data.
  • Informed choices can be made before data is actually archived.
  • Archiving plans are designed to save on data storage costs and ensure compliance.
  • Archiving simulations help data owners control data placement and predict costs.
  • The system allows for the movement of inactive data to less expensive archive storage.

Potential Applications: - Data storage management for businesses - Cloud storage optimization - Compliance-ready data archiving

Problems Solved: - High data storage costs - Lack of informed decision-making in data archiving - Inefficient data placement and management

Benefits: - Cost savings on data storage - Compliance-ready data archiving - Improved data management and organization

Commercial Applications: Title: Cost-Effective Data Storage Management System for Businesses This technology can be used by businesses of all sizes to optimize their data storage costs, ensure compliance, and improve overall data management efficiency. The market implications include increased cost savings for companies and enhanced data security and organization.

Questions about Data Storage Management System: 1. How does the data storage management system help in reducing costs for data owners? The system allows data owners to model the costs of archiving their data and create archiving plans based on these cost profiles, leading to more cost-effective data storage solutions.

2. What are the key benefits of using archiving simulations in data storage management? Archiving simulations help data owners predict costs, free up primary storage, and move inactive data to less expensive archive storage, ultimately leading to improved cost savings and data management efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosed data storage management system enables data owners to model the costs and attributes of archiving their data and to readily capture and implement one or more resultant archiving plans. modeling enables data owners to make informed choices about cost profiles before data is actually archived. archiving plans devised according to these choices are intended to save on data storage costs and provide a compliance-ready data archive in cloud storage repository(ies). armed with archiving simulations supplied by the illustrative data storage management system, a data owner may control data placement to predict costs, free up primary storage, and move inactive data to less expensive archive storage. preferably, the disclosed system is implemented as a software-as-a-service (saas) solution, and the accompanying archive storage is implemented as a cloud storage service, but the invention is not limited to saas or to cloud-based data archives.
