Abstract
A method and system for leveraging file-system metadata for direct to cloud object storage optimization. Under cloud object storage architecture, any unstructured data may be managed and stored in the cloud as objects. Objects thus provide an elastic, scalable format through which unstructured data may be maintained for a variety of purposes, including those directed to data backup, archiving, and/or disaster recovery. Cloud object storage, however, tends to be costly—mainly stemming from factors, such as the frequency of read and write operations (also referred to as runtime costs) applied to, as well as the allocation of disk space (also referred to as storage costs) consumed by, any number of objects configured to store file backup copies. In addressing at least the aforementioned, embodiments disclosed herein optimize cloud object storage utilization through the intelligent grouping and object storing of data based on file attribute similarities.
