    Abstract: In certain systems disclosed herein, a distributed data monitoring and management system is provided that can replicate a distributed storage environment. The distributed data monitoring and management system can intelligently and automatically configure data access nodes to form a structure that matches the distributed storage environment. By matching the structure of the distributed storage environment, the distributed structure of the data may be maintained, enabling the data to be backed up from and/or restored to the distributed storage environment and/or migrated to another distributed storage environment without altering the distribution of the data. Further, embodiments herein enable the transfer of data from a non-distributed environment to a distributed storage environment. Thus, in some cases, an entity can migrate data from a local storage structure to a network-based distributed storage structure.

    Abstract: Systems and methods enable a virtual machine, including applications executing thereon, to quickly start executing and servicing users based on pre-staged data blocks supplied from a backup copy in secondary storage. Substantially concurrently with the ongoing execution of the virtual machine, a virtual-machine-file-relocation operation moves data blocks from backup to a primary storage destination that becomes the virtual machine's primary data store after relocation completes. An enhanced data agent, operating in conjunction with an enhanced media agent in a storage management system, coordinates restoring the virtual machine and launching the relocation operation. The enhanced media agent pre-stages certain backed up data blocks based on predictive analysis pertaining to the virtual machine's operational profile. The enhanced media agent also pre-stages backed up data blocks for the relocation operation, based on the operation's relocation scheme. The media agent tracks read requests and maintains the contents of an associated read cache.

    Abstract: The illustrative systems and methods use a special-purpose volume-replicating server(s) to offload client computing devices operating in a production environment. The production environment may remain relatively undisturbed while production data is replicated to a geographically distinct destination. Replication is based in part on hardware-based snapshots generated by a storage array that houses production data. The illustrative volume-replicating server efficiently moves data from snapshots on a source storage array to a destination storage array by transferring only changed blocks for each successive snapshot, i.e., transferring incremental block-level changes. Periodic restore jobs may be executed by destination clients to keep current with their corresponding source production clients. Accordingly, after the source data center goes offline, production data may be speedily restored at the destination data center after experiencing only minimal downtime of production resources. By employing block-level techniques, the disclosed solutions avoid the file-based data management approaches of the prior art, which tend to be too time-consuming and resource-intensive for the present scenario.

    Abstract: A method and system for providing unified access to data for multiple computing devices includes a system that associates multiple computing devices with a user of an information management system, assigns information management policies to data from the multiple computing devices within the information management system, and collects multiple data objects from the multiple computers. The system may generate a preview version of each collected data object, and provide at least one preview version of a collected data object to a computing device associated with the user. The system may also generate indexing information for each collected data object and distribute the indexing information with the preview version of the data object.
