Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for retrieving data from multiple locations in storage systems. One embodiment includes a method that determines that data is stored in multiple locations remote to a computer, estimates a latency to retrieve the data from the multiple locations, and requests the data from the plural locations.

Retrieving data from multiple locations in storage systems

In a storage system, at least three storage sites are arranged in a full mirroring relationship using a virtual connection between instances of a storage group on two of the sites whereby no user data is transmitted.

Data mirroring using a virtual connection

Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for managing jobs in a shared file system. One embodiment includes a method that intercepts file accesses within a job on a client to a storage device in a shared file system, detects when a file associated with the job changes, and sends the client a message of the change.
