On-line storage system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an on-line storage system and a method, and enhances environment adaptiveness of an on-line storage technology. The method mainly comprises the following steps: acquiring metadata of a file to be treated from a remote data center and file content; generating a virtual disk according to file metadata; compiling the file content by users through the virtual disk; acquiring configuration information from the configuration file on the virtual disk; acquiring residual quantity information of the file to be treated between the remote data center and the virtual disk; generating data to be transmitted according to the configuration information and the residual quantity information; providing a protocol interface; and transmitting data to be transmitted according to the protocol interface. The invention leads the on-line storage system to support various protocols and various network environments, simplifies complexity of user operation by adopting a virtual technology, and promotes vitality of the on-line storage, thus ensuring that the on-line storage service can well be applied in cloud storage framework environments.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to data storage technology, in particular to an online storage system and method. Background technique [0002] Judging from the current application of cloud storage, it basically focuses on online storage services. The most important feature of online storage is that as long as users can access the Internet, they can manage the stored data anytime and anywhere, just like managing locally stored data. Cloud storage enables stored data to be shared with other users as well. It can be seen that the quality of online storage services will have a profound impact on the development of cloud storage. [0003] The cloud storage network architecture is complex and changeable. Currently, the transmission protocols that can be used by online storage services and the network environments that can be adapted are too simple, and they are generally concentrated on the Internet or dedicated storage networks. [0004] In addition, currently al...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The network architecture of cloud storage is complex and changeable. At present, the transmission protocols that can be used by online storage services and the network environment that can be adapted are too simple, and they are generally concentrated on the Internet or dedicated storage networks.

[0004] In addition, currently all users basically manage the data in the data center through the traditional client / server (C / S) architecture or browser / server (B / S) architecture, which cannot effectively suppress the huge number and types of clients. , making the management complexity grow linearly

[0005] In short, it is becoming more and more difficult for online storage technologies in the prior art to provide efficient and simple online storage services in the face of increasingly complex network environments
