METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR STORING SHARED DATA FILES IN DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEMS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising, with at least one computing device:
- determining that a data the is a shared data the with regard to a plurality of distributed data file systems within a computing grid, wherein each of said plurality of distributed file systems is provided via a corresponding cluster of computing nodes; and
in response to a determination that a number of said plurality of distributed file systems satisfies a first threshold number, initiating transmission of one or more electrical signals to initiate limited storage of said shared data file in only a portion of said plurality of distributed data file systems.

Abstract
Various methods and apparatuses are provided which may be implemented using one or more computing devices within a networked computing environment to support a computing grid having selective storage of shared data files within certain distributed the systems provided by dusters of computing devices. The selective storage may represent limited duplicative storage of a shared file.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a network interface; and at least one processing unit to; determine that a data file is a shared data file with regard to a plurality of distributed data file systems, each of said plurality of distributed file systems being provided via a corresponding duster of computing nodes; determine a number of said plurality of distributed file systems; and in response to a determination that said number of said plurality of distributed file systems satisfies a first threshold number, initiate transmission of one or more electrical signals via said network interface indicative that said shared data file is to be stored in only a portion of said plurality of distributed data file systems. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
