Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically managing the migration of a single instance of data between storage devices, comprising: receiving, by a processor at a first server, a request to access a single instance of data, wherein the single instance of data is stored at a second server; upon receiving the request, retrieving, by the processor, a copy of the single instance of data from the second server; upon determining that a first frequency of requests to access the single instance of data at the first server satisfies a threshold, duplicating, by the processor, the single instance of data at the first server; upon determining that a second frequency of requests to access the single instance of data at the second server fails to satisfy the threshold, removing the copy of the single instance of data from the second server; storing, by the processor, the duplicated single instance of data at the first server.
