According to at least one of embodiments of the present invention, a specific folder (or all folders) storing files of the server terminal can be recognized as a folder in the corresponding client terminal to facilitate the files of the server terminal to be used by a user of the client terminal more conveniently.
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product for managing data sets of a storage facility is disclosed. The method, system, and computer program product include determining, by analyzing a first data set, that the first data set includes a first record having padded data. To identify the padded data, the method, system, and computer program product include comparing at least a portion of the first record of the first data set with a second record of a second data set. Next, the method, system, and computer program product include removing, from the first record of the first data set, the padded data.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a storage subsystem capable of realizing efficient data migration and high access performance. During migration of data between storage subsystems, data migration methods are selected between a “PUSH” type and a “PULL” type method based on a data migration policy set in advance to perform data migration processes. An access characteristics of a file and a folder storing the file are determined based on a file access frequency or a final access date and time information in a migration source storage subsystem, and the migration order of a file group determined to have a high possibility of being accessed during data migration is changed between the “PUSH” type and the “PULL” type.
Abstract:
An information handling system (IHS) includes an operating system with a release-behind component that determines which file pages to release from a file cache in system memory. The release-behind component employs a history buffer to determine which file pages to release from the file cache to create room for a current page access. The history buffer stores entries that identify respective pages for which a page fault occurred. For each identified page, the history buffer stores respective repage information that indicates if a repage fault occurred for such page. The release-behind component identifies a candidate previous page for release from the file cache. The release-behind component checks the history buffer to determine if a repage fault occurred for that entry. If so, then the release-behind component does not discard the candidate previous page from the cache. Otherwise, the release-behind component discards the candidate previous page if a repage fault occurred.
Abstract:
According to embodiments of the present invention, apparatus, systems, methods and computer program products for sorting and compressing an unordered set of data records from a structured database are provided. Fields of the unordered set of data records are prioritized based on an impact of those fields to a compression scheme for column-oriented compression. The unordered set of data records are sorted based on the prioritized field(s) with a greatest impact on the performance metric. Data of the sorted data records are compressed according to a compression scheme. In some embodiments, prioritizing the fields may be based on an anticipated level of usage of data within those fields and/or a cost function associated with a performance metric as well as optimization of compression. A performance metric may include a faster computational time, reduced I/O computation, faster scan time, etc.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing electronic data are disclosed. Various data management operations can be performed based on a metabase formed from metadata. Such metadata can be identified from an index of data interactions generated by a journaling module, and obtained from their associated data objects stored in one or more storage devices. In various embodiments, such processing of the index and storing of the metadata can facilitate, for example, enhanced data management operations, enhanced data identification operations, enhanced storage operations, data classification for organizing and storing the metadata, cataloging of metadata for the stored metadata, and/or user interfaces for managing data. In various embodiments, the metabase can be configured in different ways. For example, the metabase can be stored separately from the data objects so as to allow obtaining of information about the data objects without accessing the data objects or a data structure used by a file system.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing destination-specific network management are described. One example method includes determining a normal data movement profile for a computing device based on observed normal data transfer behavior by the computing device; identifying a data movement rule associated with the computing device, the data movement rule including a deviation amount, and one or more actions to take when the computing device deviates from the normal data movement profile by more than the deviation amount; detecting a data movement associated with the computing device; determining that the detected data movement exceeds the deviation amount included in the data movement rule relative to the normal data movement profile for the computing device; and performing the one or more actions associated with the data movement rule upon determining that the data movement violates the data movement rule.

Abstract:
A directory operational block data structure is provided by a processor within a memory. The directory operational block data structure allows configuration of a directory of a file system, at an operating-system level, with at least one executable program to be executed in response to configurable operating-system level directory events associated with the directory. A first program is attached within the directory operational block data structure to execute in response to a specified directory event. The attached first program is executed at the operating-system level in response to detection of the specified directory event.
Abstract:
In a distributed file system with a number of replicas of a file set to two or more replicas, a computer sets a timer to track a time since a last access to the file, wherein the replicas of the file are distributed across two or more nodes within the distributed file system. Responsive to an access to the file prior to the timer reaching a first timer window threshold, the computer resets the timer. Responsive to the timer matching a first timer window threshold, the computer automatically reduces a number of replicas of the file within the distributed file system, wherein the probability that the file will be accessed prior to the first timer window threshold is greater than the probability that the file will be accessed after the first timer window threshold.
