Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for making electronic information more readily available to access requesters, the method comprising: identifying an access requester requesting access to electronic information stored at a source storage device; determining a demographic for the identified access requester based on information that is unrelated to past requests by the access requester; assigning cache values to selected portions of the electronic information stored within the source storage device, based on a frequency of past requests by different access requesters to access each of the selected portions of the electronic information; anticipating, by a computing device, a demand for access to each of the selected portions of the electronic information by the access requester based on the demographic determined for the access requester and the respective cache values assigned to the selected portions; identifying at least one of the selected portions of the electronic information stored at the source storage device for transport to a destination storage device that is more accessible to the access requester relative to the source storage device, based on the anticipated demand, the identified portion of the electronic information having a relatively higher cache value than the cached values assigned to the other selected portions of the electronic information in the source storage device; and copying the identified portion of the electronic information from the source storage device to the destination storage device.
