Abstract
Exemplary methods for providing most frequently referenced data chunks include maintaining, at a central storage server, reference frequency information for each of a first plurality of data chunks currently stored locally. In one embodiment, the methods include determining a plurality of data chunks most frequently referenced by a first of the remote devices based on the frequency reference information associated with the first remote device, and transmitting one or more data chunks of the most frequently referenced data chunks to the first remote device to be cached therein, such that a local client of the first remote device can access the cached data chunks without having to access the central storage server.
