Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for searching one or more sources of digital assets in dependence on one or more keywords. The server node includes logic to identify initial results from the searching of one or more sources of digital assets. The initial search results are accessible by any client node participating in a collaboration session. The server node includes logic to receive an identification of a particular digital asset from the initial results. The server node includes logic to further search the one or more sources of digital assets in dependence on the identified particular digital asset to obtain further results. The server node includes logic to curate the further results as digital assets in a workspace that is accessible in the collaboration session. The digital assets can be curated into separate canvases within the workspace in dependence on at least one criterion.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating a server node for performing collaborative search and curation of digital assets from sources of digital assets. The method includes, searching, by the server node, one or more sources of digital assets in dependence on one or more keywords received from a client node participating in a collaboration session. The method includes, curating, by the server node, results of the searching as digital assets in a workspace. The digital assets being curated into separate canvases within the workspace in dependence on at least one criterion. The digital assets are identified in data that is accessible by client nodes participating in the collaboration session. The method includes providing to the client node, the data identifying curated digital assets.

Abstract: A method for protecting data within a storage system includes receiving one or more user objects from a user into the storage system, the user objects including user data that includes user metadata and raw data; deduplicating the raw data; copying the user metadata and system metadata to provide copied metadata; and storing the copied metadata in a metadata storage area within the storage system so that the copied metadata stored in the metadata storage area is not modifiable by the user. The method can further include storing the copied metadata in a separate, second metadata storage area within the storage system that is user modifiable. At least a portion of the copied metadata stored in the user modifiable metadata storage area and copied to the unmodifiable metadata storage area includes a reference that points to sub-objects in the data storage area that allows the system to rehydrate the raw data for the user objects.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for storage optimization for event streaming for multiple consumers. The method provides an entire event stream for storage in a first tier storage and dynamically determines advance portions of the event stream for at least some of the consumers based on a consumer's position index in the event stream. The advance portions are portions of the event stream that will be consumed next by the consumer and the method provides the advance portions of the event stream for storage in second tier storage that has a higher performance than the first tier storage.
