  • Patent number: 9317223
    Abstract: A method for controlling the storage of data among multiple regional storage centers coupled through a network in a global storage system is provided. The method includes steps of: defining at least one dataset comprising at least a subset of the data stored in the global storage system; defining at least one ruleset for determining where to store the dataset; obtaining information regarding a demand for the dataset through one or more data requesting entities operating in the global storage system; and determining, as a function of the ruleset, information regarding a location for storing the dataset among regional storage centers having available resources that reduces the total distance traversed by the dataset in serving at least a given one of the data requesting entities and/or reduces the latency of delivery of the dataset to the given one of the data requesting entities.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8131728
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to processing markup language documents and provide a method, system and computer program product for processing large relationship-specifying markup language documents. In an embodiment of the invention, a method can be provided for processing large relationship-specifying markup language documents. The method can include generating an index of nodes each node corresponding to a clause in the markup language document, processing the index in lieu of the markup language document, identifying clauses referenced within the index to be written to a database and extracting the identified clauses from the markup language document and writing the extracted clauses to the database.
