  • Patent number: 9037986
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates seamless integration of a data storage service within an operating system (OS). An online safe deposit box can store a portion of data, wherein the online safe deposit box is hosted by a data storage service provider. A local operating system associated with a device can leverage a graphic user interface (GUI) to interact with a portion of data associated with the device. A map component can create a mapped drive that integrates the online safe deposit box within the local operating system to enable seamless data interaction between the local operating system and the online safe deposit box, wherein the data interaction is at least one of a data upload from the local operating system to the online safe deposit box or a data download from the online safe deposit box to the local operating system.

  • Patent number: 8818958
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates employing a safe deposit box that allows perpetual archiving of data. An online safe deposit box can store a portion of data, wherein the online safe deposit box is hosted by a data storage service provider. An archival model component can implement the online safe deposit box for perpetual archival of the portion of data. The archival model component can ensure at least one of the following: the online safe deposit retains the portion of data for a pre-defined duration; the portion of data within the online safe deposit box is accessible solely by an authorized entity; or the integrity of the portion of data is maintained, wherein the integrity is modified solely by an authorized user.

  • Patent number: 8554738
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can determine costs associated with updating file formats. In particular, the architecture can interface with a network-accessible data storage service in order to determine a cost-benefit to the data storage service for a wide variety of conversion scenarios applicable to the particular topology of the data storage service. For example, the cost-benefit can differ for storage services configured according to a client-server model relative to storage services configured according to a distributed topology. Regardless, the architecture can identify a legacy format, select a converter for converting the legacy format to the updated format, and then determine the cost-benefit for a variety of conversion or migration scenarios.

  • Patent number: 8250040
    Abstract: Techniques for providing content management services are described. Managing content services includes determining a value of content and determining storage actions of the content based on the value. The value of the content is determined by weighting factors, such as access frequency, a rating, a size of the content, a type of the content, and a security level of the content. Based on the value of the content, one or more storage actions may be determined for the content to optimize storage. The storage actions may include identifying a version of the content to be saved, compressing the content, determining a back up of the content to store, identifying a location to store the content, performing erasure encoding of the content, and/or removing the content.

  • Publication number: 20100332549
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides a system and/or a method that facilitates generation files from base information in accordance with recipes. In one aspect, recipes can be employed in distributed storage environments such as network-based backup architectures to conserve storage resources. A build component can generate a portion of data from base information based upon a recipe. In addition, an evaluation component can analyze the recipe to identify modifications to the recipe that improve efficiency of generation by the build component or customize the generated portion of data to a particular application.
