Improved data management system with staging area for storage
The patent US12047472B2 describes a system and method for managing data files generated by applications on client computing devices. The system includes a first computing device that communicates with a client device, where the client device executes an application to create a first data file in a native format. The system features two drives: a first drive designed for faster data retrieval and a second drive for slower access. The method involves storing the first data file in the native format on the first drive, moving it to the second drive after a specified time, and subsequently converting it into one or more secondary copies in a different format. Requests for the data file are served based on the timing of the request relative to these operations.
Additionally, the patent outlines various scenarios for handling requests for the first data file, depending on its current location and state. It includes provisions for taking snapshots of the first drive, managing storage policies through a separate storage manager, and handling updated versions of the data file. The system is designed to optimize data access by utilizing different storage tiers and file systems for the two drives, ensuring efficient data management and retrieval based on the application's needs and the timing of requests.
