- a storage grid manager receives requests for storing files from users. Based on certain predetermined performance parameters, the storage grid manager identifies appropriate/selected storage cells of the enterprise storage system for storing the files. Thereafter, the storage grid manager routes the requests to storage grid controllers associated with the selected storage cells. The storage grid controllers control access to the storage cells to ensure that only authorized access is granted.
- the storage grid manager will update a mapping to identify the precise storage cells in which each file is stored. Therefore, when a user issues a request to retrieve a file, the storage grid manager consults the mapping, identifies the corresponding storage cell, and retrieves the file.
- SGA 10 storage grid architectural (SGA) diagram 10 according to the present invention is depicted.
- SGA 10 allows users such as user 12 to store files and the like in one or more storage cells/farms 14A-D of enterprise storage system 16.
- SGA is typically implemented over a network such as the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a virtual private network (VPN), etc.
- LAN local area network
- WAN wide area network
- VPN virtual private network
- communication between the various components shown in Eg. 1 could occur in a client-server or server-server environment via a direct hardwired connection (e.g., serial port), or via an addressable connection that may utilize any combination of wireline and/or wireless transmission methods.
- the components may utilize conventional network connectivity, such as Token Ring, Ethernet, WiE or other conventional communications standards. Moreover, connectivity could be provided by conventional TCPIP sockets-based protocol. In this instance, the components could utilize an Internet service provider to establish connectivity. It should be appreciated that the architecture shown in Eg. 1 is intended to be illustrative only and that other variations could be implemented within the scope of the present invention. For example, any quantity of storage cells 14A-D and/or storage grid managers 24 could be provided.
- user 12 will store a file by generating a request via an application on his/her computer system (e.g., a personal computer, a workstation, a laptop, a hand-held device, etc.).
- his/her computer system e.g., a personal computer, a workstation, a laptop, a hand-held device, etc.
- the request will be transmitted to web server 18 and/or application server 20, and from there to a respective "protocol" server 22A-C.
- FTP Ele Transfer Protocol
- the present invention can accommodate any type of protocol user 12 might wish to utilize.
- storage can be provided for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Common Internet Ele System (CIFS), Network Ele System (NFS), Server Message Block Protocol (SMB), etc.
- HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol
- CIFS Common Internet Ele System
- NFS Network Ele System
- SMB Server Message Block Protocol
- storage grid manager 24 is configured to determine the most optimal or appropriate storage cell 14A-D for storing the file. In general, this determination is made under the present invention based on certain predetermined performance parameters. For example, the determination can be made based upon a user identity, a storage cost, a specific user requirement, desired a cell usage pattern balance, a security requirement, a storage cell availability, a redundancy requirement and a network optimization requirement.
- a file required access by a group of users it could be stored in a storage cell 14A-D that is most central to all such users, not just the user requesting the storage.
- the file might be stored in another (albeit more distant) storage cell 14A-D so that the load of storage cells 14A-D could be kept balanced.
- each storage cell 14A-D is associated with one storage grid controller 26A-D.
- This relationship is further depicted in Eg. 2.
- each storage grid controller 26A-D is associated with a single storage cell 14A-D. This relationship allows each storage grid controller 14A-D to serve at least two primary functions. Namely, to provide resource information about storage cells 14A-D to storage grid manager 24, and to act as a "gatekeeper" of its respective storage cell 14A-D. In the case of the former, under the present invention, storage grid manager 24 will receive information regarding capacity of the storage cells 14A-D.
- This information can be communicated upon request by storage grid manager 24, or updates can be periodically sent from each storage cell 14A-D via storage grid controllers 26A-D. In either event, the resource information is used by storage grid manager 24 in determining which storage cell 14 is the most appropriate for storing the file. For example, as indicated above, if storage cell 14A is closest geographically to user 12, but is close to capacity, storage grid manager 24 might route the request to storage cell 14B.
- storage grid manager 24 will route the request to store the file to storage grid cell 14B via storage grid controller 26B. In so doing, storage grid manager 24 will likely a d additional information such as an identification and/or authorization/authentication information for user 12. Moreover, the request will typically be routed from storage grid manager 24 using the same protocol in which it was received by storage grid manager 24, or via a private protocol.
- LDAP directory 30 is a DB2 database that stores permissions in an additive hierarchy such as shown in Eg. 3. Specifically, after a user is given permission to a path, the user has that same permission to all sub-paths under it. The user cannot be added with the same permission to any of the sub-paths. Ones and zeros represent permissions in the database. A one indicates that the user has a particular permission to a resource and a zero is a place holder.
- a zero does not indicate a negative permission. Rather, it merely says that a particular permission was not granted at that level of the hierarchy to a particular user. Moreover, there can be a situation where a user has a record granting access at a certain level and a level below that. This situation can occur when access to the higher level was granted after access to the lower level had been granted.
- storage grid manager 24 will update a mapping that correlates files with the storage cells in which they are stored Specifically, among its other functions, storage grid manager 24 maintains a mapping that it updates as files are stored in storage cells 14A-D. Thus, if user 12 later issues a request to retrieve the file, the request will be routed to storage grid manager 24, which will consult the mapping to identify the appropriate storage cell 14B. Upon so doing, storage grid manager 24 will route the request to storage cell 14B and/or storage grid controller 26B, which will again perform access control via access manager 28 and LDAP 30. Assuming user 12 is still authorized to access storage cell 14B, the file will be retrieved for access by user 12.
- storage grid manager 24 generally includes central processing unit (CPU) 40, memory 42, bus 44, input/output (I/O) interfaces 46, external devices/ resources 48 and storage unit 49.
- CPU 40 may comprise a single processing unit, or be distributed across one or more processing units in one or more locations, e.g., on a client and computer system.
- Memory 42 may comprise any known type of data storage and/or transmission media, including magnetic media, optical media, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (RQVI), a data cache, etc.
- I/O interfaces 46 may comprise any system for exchanging information to/from an external source.
- External devices/resources 48 may comprise any known type of external device, including speakers, a CRT, LCD screen, handheld device, keyboard, mouse, voice recognition system, speech output system, printer, monitor/ display, facsimile, pager, etc.
- Bus 44 provides a communication link between each of the components in storage grid manager 24 and likewise may comprise any known type of transmission link, including electrical, optical, wireless, etc.
- Storage unit 49 can be any system (e.g., database) capable of providing storage for information under the present invention. Such information could include, for example, the mapping maintained by storage grid manager 24. As such, storage unit 49 could include one or more storage devices, such as a magnetic disk drive or an optical disk drive. In another embodiment, storage unit 49 includes data distributed across, for example, a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN) or a storage area network (SAN) (not shown). Furthermore, although not shown, additional components, such as cache memory, communication systems, system software, etc., may be incorporated into storage grid manager 24.

- such parameters could include, among others, a user identity, a storage cost, a user requirement, a desired cell usage pattern/balance, a security requirement, a storage cell availability, a redundancy requirement and a network optimization requirement.
- storage grid manager 24 will use resource information about storage cells 14A-D such as available space that is received via resource information system 54. This information can be obtained based on queries made by resource information system 54, or via updates periodically sent via storage grid controllers 26A-D.
- request routing system 56 will route the requests to the appropriate storage cells 14A-D (i.e., via the storage grid controllers 26A-D associated therewith).
- access en- forcement systems within the storage grid controllers 26A-D will determine whether the users are authorized to access the respective storage cells 14A-D. If so, the files are stored accordingly.
- mapping system 58 will update the mapping to reflect the locations in which the files were stored, and notification system 60 will notify the users accordingly. Requests to retrieve the files will similarly be received by storage grid manager 24.
- cell identification system 52 Upon receipt, cell identification system 52 will consult the mapping to identify the pertinent storage cells 14A-D, and request routing system 56 will route the retrieval requests to the identified storage cells 14A-D. Similar to storage of the files, access control systems within the storage grid controllers 26A-D will ensure that the users are authorized to have such access. If so, the files are retrieved and notification system 60 will notify the users accordingly.
