POLICY-BASED COMPUTER FILE MANAGEMENT BASED ON CONTENT-BASED ANALYTICS
First Claim
1. A method of managing storage of electronic files using information derived from content of the electronic files, wherein the electronic files are stored in a computer storage system having policy-based electronic file storage management, the method comprising:
- executing at least one content analytics logic module on a primary file stored in a base storage system to create one or more Features derived from content of the primary file, wherein the primary file is stored in the base storage system by an external system coupled to the base storage system; and
automatically determining an electronic storage policy for the primary file based on the one or more Features.

Abstract
Embodiments of this disclosure managing storage of files, stored in a computer storage system having policy-based file storage management, using information derived from content of the files. Embodiments execute content analytics logic module(s) on a primary file stored in a base storage system, creating one or more Features derived from the primary file content. Based on the Feature(s), embodiments automatically determine an electronic storage policy for the primary file and, in certain embodiments, also for the Feature(s). The Features, and accordingly the storage policy, can be updated particularly readily in exemplary embodiments having pluggable content analytics logic modules. This may be occur in light of, for example, new content analytics algorithms (e.g., new image analysis algorithms), new external factors (e.g., new rules governing certain content), and/or new storage equipment (e.g., new storage farms for which it may be more useful or cost effective to store certain types of data).

12. A system comprising:
-
a base storage system coupled to an external system, the base storage system to store a plurality of primary files of differing modalities, wherein one of the plurality of primary files is a primary file received from the external system, and wherein the base storage system is configured to provide policy-based file management; and a content analytics platform coupled to the base storage system, the content analytics platform comprising; a content analytics logic module plugged into the content analytics platform and configured to create one or more Features derived from content of the primary file received from the external system; and an Feature manager logic module coupled to the plugged-in content analytics logic module and configured to select an electronic storage policy for the primary file based on the one or more Features and to link the one or more Features to the primary file such that a storage policy for the primary file applies to the one or more Features. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
