Abstract: A specification of content to be stored in a cloud storage is received at a client-side component. A first portion of the content is divided into a plurality of data chunks. One or more data chunks of the plurality of data chunks that are to be sent via a network to be stored in the cloud storage are identified. It is determined whether a batch size of the one or more identified data chunks does not meets a threshold size. One or more data chunks of a second portion of the content that are to be stored in the cloud storage are identified. It is determined that a size of a second batch of data chunks that includes the one or more identified data chunks of the first portion of the content and the one or more identified data chunks of the second portion of the content does not meet the threshold size. It is determined that a batch period is greater than or equal to a batch threshold period. The second batch of data chunks is written to a storage of a cloud server included in a data plane.

One or more data chunks of the plurality of data chunks that are to be sent via a network to be stored in the cloud storage are identified. It is determined whether a batch size of the one or more identified data chunks meets a threshold size. Based on the determination of whether the batch size meets the threshold size, a cloud storage destination among a plurality of different cloud storage destinations associated with different performance tiers is selected.

Abstract: A request for one or more files is received. It is determined that the requested one or more files have been archived at an archival storage tier. Access to a first portion of the one or more requested files stored at the archival storage tier is requested. Access is provided to the first portion in response to the request. Based at least in part on a metric associated with a utilization of the first portion, it is determined when to request access to a second portion of the one or more requested files stored at the archival storage tier.

Abstract: A cloud server component determines that a size of a first cloud storage element object is at least below a first threshold. In response to the first determination, a client-side component is requested to store additional data in the cloud storage element object including by having the client-side component update the first cloud storage element with an updated version that includes previously existing data of the first cloud storage element and the additional data. The first cloud storage element object is added to a set of one or more cloud storage element objects available for update. The client-side component is configured to generate an updated version of the first cloud storage element object that has a size that is greater than or equal to the first threshold.
