Abstract
The techniques and/or systems described herein implement erasure coding to generate various chunks for a data collection (e.g., data chunks and at least one encoding chunk). The chunks are then distributed and stored within an individual group (e.g., a pod) of storage units, where a pod of storage units is determined based on characteristics that affect an amount of time it takes to recover a data collection or to restore lost data.
