Patent number: 9934102Abstract: A processor determines a predicted quantity of updates to be made to a set of data using a history of updates. The set of data is associated with a category of replication that indicates a first frequency of data replication to be applied to the set of data. The processor determines whether the first predicted quantity of updates meets a first threshold for a frequency of replication of the set of data. The first threshold indicates an allowed number of updates and meeting the first threshold indicates that an adjustment to the frequency of replication of the set of data is to be initiated. The processor responds to a determination that the first threshold has been met by associating the set of data with a category of replication that has a second frequency of data replication to be applied to the set of data.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David R. Blea, Matthew E. Brooks, Steven M. Kern, Khang N. Nguyen, Scott N. Trevett
