Abstract
Techniques for chunking data in data storage systems that provide increased data storage security across multiple cloud storage providers. The techniques employ a chunking engine and a policy engine, which evaluates one or more storage policies relating to, for example, cost, security, and/or network conditions in view of services and/or requirements of the multiple cloud storage providers. Having evaluated such storage policies, the policy engine generates and provides operating parameters to the chunking engine, which uses the operating parameters when chunking and/or distributing the data across the multiple cloud storage providers, thereby satisfying the respective storage policies. In this way, users of data storage systems obtain the benefits of cloud storage resources and/or services while reducing their data security concern and optimizing the total cost of data storage.
