APPARATUS FOR MANAGING DATA BY USING URL INFORMATION IN A DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A device for managing data using URL(Uniform Resource Locator) information in a distributed file system and a method thereof are provided to support conditions under which permitted users can immediately access a specific file in a cloud storage service based on a distributed file system. CONSTITUTION: A protocol server(110) searches metadata corresponding to specific URL information from a URL database. The protocol server requests a location of a metadata server where a specific file is stored by the searched metadata. The protocol server receives the response to the request. When each file is stored in at least one file server, the metadata server stores metadata of each file to manage a file list. The metadata server provides file server information in which a specific file is stored by a request of the protocol server.
