Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Techniques and mechanisms provide a storage optimization manager. Data may be optimized and maintained on various nodes in a cluster. Particular nodes may be overburdened while other nodes remain relatively unused. Techniques are provided to efficiently optimize data onto nodes to enhance operational efficiency. Data access requests for optimized data are monitored and managed to allow for intelligent maintenance of optimized data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: monitoring data access requests for optimized data maintained on a plurality of nodes in a cluster, wherein the optimized data comprises deduplicated data; detecting a optimized data storage imbalance; generating a plurality of new keys associated with a mapping function, the mapping function identifying a particular node corresponding to a particular key, wherein each of the plurality of new keys includes a node number, wherein th…
