Abstract

Described are a system, method, and computer program product for generating a data storage server distribution pattern. The method includes determining a set of servers and raw data to be stored. The method also includes transforming the raw data according to an error-correcting code scheme to produce distributable data. The method further includes determining a server reliability of each server in the set of servers. The method further includes generating the data storage server distribution pattern based on maximizing a system reliability relative to maximizing a system entropy. System reliability may be based on a minimum reliability of the set of servers, and system entropy may be based on a cumulated information entropy of each server of the set of servers. The method further includes distributing the distributable data to be stored across at least two servers of the set of servers according to the data storage server distribution pattern.
