SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING FILES IN CLOUD-BASED NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method of managing a file stored in a cloud-based network, the method comprising:
- determining a storage location of the file from a link mapped on a hash structure, wherein the link comprises a first generation number;
accessing, via the link, the file at the storage location to examine a second generation number associated with the file; and
comparing the first generation number to the second generation number to determine whether to retrieve the file.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for monitoring files in cloud-based networks. In particular, a file managing module can manage the access and retrieval of files stored in cloud-based networks on a distributed basis. In embodiments, the file managing module can receive a file access request from a requesting entity. The file managing module can use the file access request to determine a storage location mapped to a hash structure. Generation numbers associated with the both the storage location and the actual file at the storage location can be compared to determine whether the file has been unexpectedly modified or relocated. The file managing module can sync any discrepancy between the generation numbers and retrieve the file for the requesting entity.

11. A system for managing a file stored in a cloud-based network, the system comprising:
-
an interface to a set of resources in at least one cloud network, and a processor, communicating with the set of resources in the at least one cloud network via the interface, the processor being configured to— determine a storage location of the file from a link mapped on a hash structure, wherein the link comprises a first generation number; access, via the link, the file at the storage location to examine a second generation number associated with the file; and compare the first generation number to the second generation number to determine whether to retrieve the file. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
