Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing content data storage services to a remote device over the internet to enable access of the remote device in the cloud. A content data storage device receives data indicative of a subscription to content data storage services from a remote device. The content data storage device provisions cloud storage to provide the content data storage services subscribed to by the remote device. Data associated with the remote device is replicated to the provisioned cloud storage to provide a replicated device in the cloud. Data indicative of a request to use the replicated device in the cloud is received. The content data storage device executes the replicated device in the cloud, thereby providing access of the remote device in the cloud for the remote device.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for remotely backing up data associated with a plurality of storage environments. A first computing device receives a storage type associated with a second computing device managed by the first computing device. Storage parameters are configured based on the storage type to customize a backup process for the second computing device based on the storage type. Data associated with the second computing device is protected using the storage parameters, wherein protecting data associated with the second computing device further includes copying at a first point in time a full copy of data associated with the second computing device, and copying changes to the data associated with the second computing device at a set of points in time later than the first point in time, the set of points in time being based on an end-user policy.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for creating, in a network, a single instance of deduplicated data across a plurality of end user data. A first computing device receives data associated with a plurality of computing devices, the plurality of computing devices being managed by the first computing device. The first computing device aggregates and deduplicates the data associated with each of the plurality of computing devices. The deduplicated aggregated data set is then transmitted to a second computing device for further aggregation and deduplication with one or more additional aggregated data sets generated by other computing devices managing respective sets of computing devices.

Abstract: The present invention is associated with a system and a method for providing comprehensive data protection for data, which includes receiving a file and storing a first modified version of the file along with a first difference file, wherein the first difference file contains differences between the first modified version of the file and the received file.
