1. A method comprising:

  • determining a first structure of a data surrogate of application data, wherein the first structure is a B+ tree structure, and the data surrogate is generated in part by shadowing the application data at servers providing services associated with the application data;

    parsing items of the data surrogate using information of the first structure;

    storing the data surrogate using at least one utility server including at least one processor and coupled to the servers providing the services;

    dynamically transforming the data surrogate by systematically reading the data surrogate according to the first structure using a raw read method and using the first structure to organize the items into a second, different structure that preserves a hierarchy of the first structure, wherein the second structure is a directory structure; and

    extracting metadata of at least one of the items, the first structure, the data surrogate and the second structure during the parsing and the transforming to generate a searchable component comprising information of the parsed and the transformed data surrogate, the searchable component providing a plurality of applications access to the information of the parsed and transformed data surrogate using the at least one utility server; and

    providing access to at least a portion of the items in the second structure using a second protocol that is different from a first protocol used to access the data surrogate according to the first structure.
