Abstract
Prefetching techniques for a hybrid cloud system are described. The techniques include maintaining a graph in a graph database, the graph including nodes associated with data items to be accessed and links between the nodes, each link including an associated link weight. Conceptually, the link weights are indicative of how likely it is for a data item to which the link points to be accessed after the data item associated with the node from which the link extends is accessed. The link weights are updated as items are accessed and the graph is traversed. The graph structure and associated techniques help to reduce latency in a hybrid cloud system by providing for prefetch of items anticipated to be used at a later time.
