CRAWLER-LESS TIERING FOR CLOUD BASED FILE SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111732 titled 'CRAWLER-LESS TIERING FOR CLOUD BASED FILE SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for re-tiering files and folders in a cloud-based file system without crawling all the files and folders. The method uses meta-data to determine the appropriate tier for each file or folder based on provided rules, minimizing the use of expensive cloud resources during re-tiering.

  • The method re-tiers files and folders in a cloud-based file system without crawling all the files and folders.
  • Meta-data is utilized to determine the tier assignment for each file or folder according to specified rules.
  • This approach helps reduce the use of costly cloud resources when re-tiering files and folders.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in cloud storage services, data management systems, and file organization tools.

Problems Solved

1. Minimizing the use of expensive cloud resources during re-tiering of files and folders. 2. Efficiently organizing files and folders in a cloud-based file system without the need for extensive crawling.

Benefits

1. Cost-effective re-tiering of files and folders in the cloud. 2. Improved performance and resource utilization in cloud-based file systems. 3. Simplified file organization and management processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing cloud storage services, enhancing data management systems, and streamlining file organization tools for businesses and individuals.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing methods for re-tiering files and folders in cloud-based systems, but the specific approach of utilizing meta-data to determine tier assignments based on rules may be a novel aspect of this technology.
