Abstract
A system and method for balancing data storage among a plurality of groups of computing devices, each group comprising one or more respective computing devices, each group having an available storage capacity. The method may involve, for each group of computing devices, determining an amount of used storage at the group of computing devices exceeding a predefined first threshold value that is less than the available storage capacity and calculating a storage cost based on the determined amount of used storage exceeding the predefined first threshold value, determining a total storage cost of the plurality of groups of computing devices based on a sum of the calculated storage costs, determining a transfer of one or more projects between the groups of computing devices that reduces the total storage and directing the plurality of groups of computing devices to execute the determined transfer.
