detailed description

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring now to FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of a system for storing data according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the system 100 may include a management device 110 and multiple cloud storage systems.

In a specific implementation manner, the multiple cloud storage systems may include at least one public cloud storage system and at least one private cloud storage system, may include multiple public cloud storage systems, or may include multiple private cloud storage systems. For example, in FIG. 1 , the multiple cloud storage systems include a public cloud storage system 120 and a private cloud storage system 130 as an example for illustration.

For example, the public cloud storage system 120 may include Amazon AWS, Microsoft Windows Azure, IBM's SmartCloud (smart cloud), and the like. The private cloud storage system 130 may include a Hadoop cloud storage system and the like.

The management device 110 can be connected to multiple cloud storage systems in a wired or wireless manner. As shown in FIG. and private cloud storage system 130.

The management device 110 may also be connected to a client application or user interface, so that a user can interact with the management device through the client application or user interface.

The management device 110 may be used to generate a user's information indicating at least one cloud storage system available to the user and selected from a plurality of cloud storage systems, and store the specified data K after receiving the user's specified data K When a storage request is made, the specified data K is stored in the cloud storage system available to the user determined according to the configuration information.

Specifically, the management device 110 may generate configuration information, and when receiving a storage request, determine the cloud storage system available to the user according to the configuration configuration information, so as to store the specified data K in the determined cloud storage system.

Configuration information may be generated based on user input. For example, the user may select at least one cloud storage system to use from multiple cloud storage systems according to his own storage requirements, or the system administrator may select at least one cloud storage system for the user according to the user's storage requirements. Then, a user or a system administrator may input a selection of at least one cloud storage system to the management device 110 through a client application or a user interface. Correspondingly, the management device 110 may generate configuration information of the user according to the input.

In a specific implementation manner, at least one cloud storage system available to users may include at least one public cloud storage system and at least one private cloud storage system. For example, the at least one cloud storage system may include a public cloud storage system 120 and a private cloud storage system 130, so as to provide different security levels for user data.

In another specific implementation manner, the storage request may carry specified data K, so that the management device 110 may obtain the specified data K from the storage request. This method can be applied to the case where the data to be stored is relatively small.

In another specific implementation manner, the storage request may include specifying the local location of the data K and the location to be stored in the determined cloud storage system. Wherein, the local location of the data may refer to the location of the data at the user end. In this way, the management device 110 can extract the specified data K from the corresponding location of the user terminal, and then store the extracted specified data K in the determined specified location in the cloud storage system.

In another specific implementation manner, the storage request may include a storage time for storing the specified data K. The management device 110 may store the specified data K in the cloud storage system determined above according to the storage time. For example, the storage time may include the current time when the storage request is received or a specified time after the storage request is received.

For example, if the storage time included in the storage request is the current time when the storage request is received, the management device 110 may store the specified data in the determined cloud storage system when receiving the storage request. If the storage time included in the storage request is a specified time after receiving the storage request, then when the specified time arrives, the management device 110 stores the specified data in the determined cloud storage system.

In another specific implementation manner, the storage request may include overwriting information, and the overwriting information is used to indicate whether to overwrite the previous version of the specified data.

The management device 110 may determine whether a previous version of the specified data K already exists in the cloud storage system determined above. In a case where it is determined that a previous version of the specified data K exists in the cloud storage system, the management device 110 may perform a storage operation according to the coverage information. Specifically, if the coverage information indicates to overwrite the previous version of the specified data K, the management device 110 may use the specified data K to cover the previous version of the specified data K stored in the determined cloud storage system; if the coverage information indicates If the previous version of the specified data K is not overwritten, the management device 110 may store the specified data K in the determined cloud storage system without overwriting the previous version of the specified data K.

In another specific implementation manner, the configuration information may also indicate the data type of data stored in each cloud storage system available to the user, and the storage request may include specifying the data type of the data K. The management device 110 may also store the specified data K in the cloud storage system determined according to the configuration information that is available to the user and used to store data of the data type of the specified data K. Specifically, the management device 110 may determine, according to the configuration information, a cloud storage system that is available to the user and used to store data of the data type with the specified data K. In this implementation manner, by storing the data in the corresponding cloud storage system according to the data type, the different storage requirements of the user for the data can be further satisfied.

For example, a user or a system administrator may specify to the management device 110 the data types of the data stored in the cloud storage system available to the user through a client application or a user interface. For example, data types can be classified based on security levels. In the case where at least one cloud storage system includes a public cloud storage system and a private cloud storage system, data with a higher security level can be stored in the private cloud storage system, and data with a lower security level can be stored in the public cloud storage system data is stored. For another example, data types can be classified based on data sources. For example, a user may specify that data from an enterprise resource planning (Enterprise Resource Planning, ERP) system be stored in a private cloud storage system, and that data from a customer relationship management (Customer Relationship Management, CRM) system be stored in a public cloud storage system. For another example, data types may be classified based on user levels. For example, data of common users may be designated to be stored in a public cloud storage system, while data of designated VIP users shall be stored in a private cloud storage system. It should be understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, it is not limited to classify data types based on security level, data source, or user level. Users can choose the corresponding data type division method according to their actual needs.

In another specific implementation manner, when the management device 110 receives a migration request indicating to migrate the specified data K to another cloud storage system, it may extract the specified data K from the cloud storage system currently storing the specified data K and Store it to other cloud storage systems. In this implementation manner, data migration between cloud storage systems can be easily implemented without complicated operations by the user.

For example, if the user wishes to use other cloud storage systems to store the specified data K, the user may initiate a migration request to the management device 110 through a client application or a user interface. The management device 110 may determine the current storage address of the specified data K according to the migration request, and then migrate the specified data K from the current cloud storage system to another cloud storage system. For example, the user can specify to the management device 119 whether to delete the specified data on the current cloud storage system during migration, which folder to migrate to in another cloud storage system, etc. through the client application or the user interface.

In another specific implementation manner, the above-mentioned other cloud storage systems may include public cloud storage systems and/or private cloud storage systems.

In addition, after storing the data, the management device 110 can record the storage information of the data (for example, the storage address of the data), so that when the user needs to download the data, the management device 110 can download the data from the corresponding storage address. In addition, the management device 110 may also provide users with management of data and the like.

It can be seen from the above that the embodiments of the present invention provide different users with corresponding cloud storage systems to store their data. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention can meet the data storage requirements of different users.

In addition, it can also be seen that the embodiment of the present invention provides unified management of various cloud storage systems, and does not require the user to operate at least one cloud storage system separately, thereby simplifying the operation complexity of the user.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, due to the on-demand provisioning of cloud services, storing data based on the cloud can reduce costs and provide great scalability.
