Abstract: Systems and methods for managing the distribution and access of data on a pool of storage media are disclosed. The data are managed based on access patterns, storage media activity, and/or health parameters. An access pattern of one or more units of data in a pool of two or more storage media is determined. At least a portion of the one or more units of data are migrated from one storage medium to another storage medium within the pool of two or more storage media based on the access pattern. Systems and methods are also disclosed for storing data on several different disk storage sets according to different qualities.

Abstract: A server storage infrastructure that provides a high throughput service for client machines accessing the server storage infrastructure. In preferred implementations, a file is fragmented into multiple file portions. Each of the multiple file portions is saved on separate storage servers of a storage server cluster. Fragmentation layout metadata is generated that describes the location in the storage server cluster and content of each of the multiple file portions. In response to a request from a client to one storage server of the storage server cluster, the multiple file portions are accessed from the separate storage servers from one storage server according to the fragmentation layout metadata.
