In current Distributed Storage Systems (DSS), applications may determine the device on which data shall be stored. The invention provides a method for automatically selecting an individual storage device within a DSS. A method for automatically classifying a node in a network comprises determining data classes, automatically classifying data of said data classes stored on a node, determining the amount of stored data per data class, calculating data dominance values (E dominant ) for each of the data classes, receiving a request that indicates a data type according to one of said data classes, and providing said dominance value (E dominant ) according to the requested data class. Further, a method for automatically organizing nodes in a network comprises receiving a request for storing data of a particular data type, transmitting the request to storage nodes, receiving from the storage nodes respective dominance values (E dominant ), and selecting the node with the highest dominance value (E dominant ) for storing the data. |
