Abstract

Storing data at a remote location based on predetermined criteria includes obtaining data from a remote sensor, identifying a storage provider that meets predetermined storage criteria of the data, and uploading the data to the storage provider.

Claims

1. A computer program product for storing data at a remote location based on predetermined criteria, comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that comprises program instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to;

obtain data from a remote sensor;

identify a storage provider that meets predetermined storage criteria of said data; and

upload said data to said storage provider.

2. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to identify said storage provider based on a determined value of a time slice of said data.

3. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to identify said storage provider based on a duration said data is to be stored.

4. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to identify said storage provider based on a price of said storage provider.

5. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to identify said storage provider based on a reliability of said storage provider.

6. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to identify said storage provider based on a retrieval speed of said storage provider.

7. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to upload multiple time slices of data to different storage providers based on different characteristics of said multiple time slices. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to maintain a table of a location of time slices of said data.

9. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to play back said data from said storage provider.

10. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising program instructions that, when executed, causes said processor to play back said data from said storage provider by playing a first time slice of said data stored in a first location followed by playing a second time slice of said data stored in second location that is different than said first location automatically if said second time slice sequentially follows said first time slice based on time stamps.

11. A system for storing data at a remote location based on predetermined criteria, comprising:

an obtaining engine to obtain data from a remote sensor;

an identifying engine to identify storages provider that meet predetermined storage criteria of said data;

a determining engine to determine which of said storages providers to store a time slice of said data; and

an uploading engine to upload said time slice to said storage provider.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising a table maintenance engine to maintain a table that tracks with which storage providers time slices of said data are stored.

13. The system of claim 11, further comprising a play back engine to play back time slices of said data.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein said play back engine to further play a first time slice of said data stored in a first location followed by playing a second time slice of said data stored in second location that is different than said first location automatically if said second time slice sequentially follows said first time slice based on time stamps.

15. A system for storing data at a remote location based on predetermined criteria, comprising:

obtaining data from a remote sensor;

identifying storages provider that meet predetermined storage criteria of said data;

determining which of said storages providers to store a time slice of said data;

uploading said time slice to said storage provider; and

maintaining a table that tracks with which storage providers time slices of said data are stored.
