Abstract: A storage segment server environment that includes storage segment server(s) that cover a contiguous address space of data. The storage segment server has storage segments that are contiguous and that matches the address space of a respective of storage segments in the cloud store service. Thus, a read of the contiguous address spaces of the data from the cloud store service may instead be handled as a single read of the contiguous address space of the storage segment server. Each storage segment server(s) may be assigned to a range within the total contiguous address space of the data. Each storage segment server(s) includes a respective storage segment write component that is configured to perform write operations to storage segments in the respective storage segment server. Each storage segment server(s) also includes a respective cloud storage write component that initiates corresponding write operations to the cloud store service.

Abstract: Use of a log service computing system to apply a log to storage segments in the context of there being a primary compute system that operates upon data, and secondary compute system(s) that are at the ready to be promoted to the new primary compute system should the old primary compute system fail. Rather than have each of the primary and secondary compute systems maintain their own replicated of the entire data locally, the data is separated in storage segments that are collectively distributed amongst multiple storage segment servers.
