COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING DATA STORAGE IN A MULTI-CLOUD DISTRIBUTED STORAGE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A computerized system and method for managing the storage of data in a distributed storage environment, including an application for storing data in a cloud and / or cloud-based storage and hosting environment ("Multi-cloud"). The distributed storage environment comprises a plurality of data centers DCi capable of storing data on storage servers S and associated with one or more characteristics, such as the storage cost and the probability of unavailability, the system comprising an interface D input 1 for the input of a data D to be stored, determination means 2 of at least one data center DCi that can be used to store the data D, among the data centers available in the environment , and a transmission interface 3 of the data D for storage in at least one data center DCi determined. The determination means 2 comprise a fragmentation module 4 of the data D, capable of fragmenting it into several fragments Cj, and an optimization module 5 able to determine, for each fragment Cj, a data center DCi that can be used to store the fragment Cj, among the available data centers in the environment, so as to minimize an objective function depending on the values of one or more of the characteristics of each of the data centers determined to store each of the fragments Cj.
