CO-DERIVED DATA STORAGE PATTERNS FOR DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SYSTEMS

摘要

Embodiments providing co-derived data storage patterns for use in reliably storing data and/or facilitating access to data within a storage system using fragments of source objects are disclosed. A set of data storage patterns for use in storing the fragments distributed across a plurality of storage nodes may be generated whereby the set of data storage patterns are considered collectively to meet one or more system performance goals. Such co-derived data storage pattern sets may be utilized when storing fragments of a source object to storage nodes of a storage system. Co-derived pattern set management logic may generate co-derived data storage pattern sets, select/assign data storage patterns of a co-derived data storage pattern set for use with respect to source objects, modify data storage patterns of a co-derived data storage pattern set, and generate additional data storage patterns for a co-derived data storage pattern set in accordance with the concepts herein.
