Abstract
A system is configured to allocate storage space on existing devices within the entity's networked system to create cloud storage space. In particular, unallocated space on computing devices, typically user devices, within an entity's network is utilized as a cloud data repository. Cloud data is indexed, divided into chunks, encrypted, and stored on numerous disparate endpoint devices connected to the network. Copies of cloud chunk data may be duplicated across multiple endpoint devices to allow for data redundancy, thereby ensuring cloud data uptime according to the availability needs of the entity. Cloud data may further be allocated to different devices based on regional data restrictions. In this way, the system provides an efficient and secure way to generate an internal cloud data storage repository within an entity's networked system.
