METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF A DEDUPE STORAGE NETWORK FOR IMAGE MANAGEMENT

摘要

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of a dedupe storage network includes the step of providing one or more replication-site dedupe storage nodes. Another step includes providing an onsite-dedupe storage node, wherein the onsite dedupe node initiates a replication operation, wherein the replication operation comprises the onsite dedupe storage node operation pushing or fetching a dedupe-image data from the one or more replication-site dedupe storage nodes. The replication from local dedupe storage node to remote dedupe storage node pushes data not present at remote. The replication from remote dedupe storage node to local dedupe storage node fetches data not present at local.

1. A computer-implemented method of a dedupe storage network comprising:
providing one or more replication-site dedupe storage nodes; providing an onsite-dedupe storage node, wherein the onsite dedupe node initiates a replication operation, wherein the replication operation comprises the onsite dedupe storage node operation pushing or fetching a dedupe-image data from the one or more replication-site dedupe storage nodes; storing the dedupe image in the onsite-dedupe storage node represented in a local dedupe-image layout, wherein the local dedupe-image layout comprises a metadata element, a data element and a database element; and replicating the dedupe image in the one or more replication-site dedupe storage nodes, wherein a replicated dedupe image is represented in a remote dedupe-image layout comprising a remote-metadata element and a remote-database element.
