1. A computer-implemented method for smoothing peak load in a collaborative system, the method comprising:

  • determining a usage pattern reflecting a plurality of users of the collaborative system;

    predicting a first peak load period based on the usage pattern;

    generating a pre-staging schedule for a selected one or more of the plurality of users based on the usage pattern and the first peak load period, wherein each of the one or more users is selected based on respective access times relative to the predicted first peak load period;

    prior to the first peak load period, pre-staging user data associated with the selected one or more users based on the pre-staging schedule;

    during the first peak load period, receiving a request from a first user of the selected one or more users for access to the pre-staged user data associated with the first user;

    in response to the request, providing the pre-staged user data to the first user; and

    following a specified period subsequent to the first peak load period, discarding pre-staged user data associated with a second user of the selected one or more users if the pre-staged user data was not accessed by the second user.
