Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An example method for storing data includes providing a plurality of physical storage pools, each storage pool including a plurality of storage nodes coupled to a network. The method also includes mapping a partition of a plurality of partitions to a set of physical storage pools, where each physical storage pool of the set of physical storage pools is located in a different availability zone, and the storage nodes within an availability zone are subject to a correlated loss of access to stored data. The method further includes receiving a data management request over the network, the data management request being associated with a data object. The method also includes identifying a first partition of the plurality of partitions corresponding to the received data management request and manipulating the data object in the physical storage pools mapped to the first partition in accordance with the data management request.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for storing data, comprising: providing a plurality of physical storage pools, each physical storage pool including a plurality of storage nodes coupled to a network, and each storage node further providing a non-transitory computer readable medium for data storage; mapping a first partition of a plurality of partitions to a first set of the physical storage pools, wherein the mapping includes creating a plurality of replicas of a data object for…
