Abstract:
The disclosure provides an approach for transferring files to cloud storage so as to reduce usage of on-premise storage units, and for dynamically reading ahead from cloud storage to improve read performance. In one embodiment, each storage unit in an on-premise storage system is considered independently, and a decision made to move files from a storage unit to cloud storage when utilization of that storage unit reaches an associated mid-water-mark. In particular, files may be transferred beginning with least-recently accessed and smallest files and proceeding until utilization percentage of the on-premise storage unit decreases to an associated low-water-mark. In addition, while files are being transferred to cloud storage, additional files may be written to the on-premise storage unit until an associated high-water-mark is touched, at which point any further writes are redirected to the cloud storage until usage of the on-premise storage unit is reduced to the low-water-mark or more.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 6 , further comprising, prior to transferring the file and the at least one other file, sorting files belonging to the user that are stored in the cloud storage according to file creation time within the file system.
