Abstract: Method and systems for data storage is provided. Metric data corresponding to a component of a datacenter is received, the metric data associated with a metric instance that identifies the component of the datacenter. It is determined that the metric instance is not stored at an index server. The metric instance is stored at the index server, the metric instance being synchronously stored in a flattened format. A slot identification is generated based on at least a portion of the metric instance, and the metric instance is stored at an inventory server in accordance with the slot identification, the metric instance being asynchronously stored in an unflattened format.

Abstract: Method and systems for data retrieval is provided. A query is received to search for metric data corresponding to a component of a datacenter, the component of the datacenter identified by a metric instance. An index is searched for the metric instance, the index comprising the metric instance synchronously stored in a flattened format. Further, a slot identification corresponding to the metric instance is determined, the slot identification identifying a location of the metric data in an inventory. Based on the determined slot identification, metric data is retrieved from the inventory, the inventory comprising the metric data asynchronously stored in an unflattened format. Additionally, a query result comprising the metric data corresponding to the search is communicated.
