Abstract:
A method begins by receiving a storage request to store one or more portions of a data object and determining whether the one or more portions are stored within a dispersed storage network memory. When stored, the method continues by determining a retrieval demand for a portion of the one or more portions. When below a first threshold, the method continues by indicating that an existing copy of the one or more portions will be used for retrieval requests for the one or more portions. When above the first threshold, the method continues by copying the existing copy to create a first one or more portion copies and indicating the one or more portions will be used for retrieval requests from a first group of user computing devices and indicating the first one or more portion copies will be used for retrieval requests from a second group.

Claim (Index 8):
A computing device of a dispersed storage network (DSN) comprises:\n memory; an interface; and a processing module operably coupled to the memory and the interface, wherein the processing module is operable to: receive, via the interface, a storage request to store one or more portions of a data object, wherein the data object includes a plurality of portions; determine whether the one or more portions are already stored within a DSN memory; when the one or more portions are stored:\n determine a retrieval demand for a portion of the one or more portions; \n when the retrieval demand for the portion of the one or more portions is below a first threshold, indicate that an existing copy of the one or more portions will be used for retrieval requests of the one or more portions within the DSN; \n when the retrieval demand for the portion of the one or more portions is above the first threshold:\n copy the existing copy of the one or more portions to create a first one or more portion copies; \n indicate that the existing copy of the one or more portions will be used for retrieval requests from a first group of user computing devices of the DSN; and \n indicate that the first one or more portion copies will be used for retrieval requests from a second group of user computing devices of the DSN.
