A system and method for global data de-duplication in a cloud storage environment utilizing a plurality of data centers is provided. Each cloud storage gateway appliance divides a data stream into a plurality of data objects and generates a content-based hash value as a key for each data object. An IMMUTABLE PUT operation is utilized to store the data object at the associated key within the cloud.

Technique for global deduplication across datacenters with minimal coordination

Technology is described for a profile-based lifecycle management for data storage servers. The technology can receive a profile, monitor events emitted by devices of the data storage system, determine based on the monitored events that a device of the storage system matches the indicated condition, and perform the action corresponding to the indicated condition, wherein the action includes managing data stored by the data storage system. The received profile can indicate a condition and an action corresponding to the condition.

Fabric attached storage

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that prefetchs includes identifying a candidate data block from one of one or more immediate successor data blocks. The identified candidate data block has a historical access probability value from an initial accessed data block which is higher than a historical access probability value for each of the other immediate successor data blocks and is above a prefetch threshold value. The identifying is repeated until a next identified candidate data block has the historical access probability value below the prefetch threshold value. In the repeating, the identifying next immediate successor data blocks is from the previously identified candidate data block and the historical access probability value for each of the next immediate successor data blocks is determined from the originally accessed data block. The identified candidate data block with the historical access probability value above the prefetch threshold value is fetched.

Methods for combining access history and sequentiality for intelligent prefetching and devices thereof

Systems and methods which provide for improved prefetching schemes for caching data in a storage network are described. In one embodiment, a dynamically adaptive prefetching mechanism based on block access history information and prior effectiveness of prefetching is provided. Embodiments may take into account prefetch efficiency; a dynamic value indicating the usefulness of past prefetches, prefetch wastage, in conjunction with prefetch resources available at any point in time, to determine the number of blocks to read-ahead during a prefetch. Such embodiments provide improvements over file-based prefetching and previous block schemes, as they provide a finer grain of control over both prefetch block selection, and the number of blocks to prefetch based on block (or block range) access history.
