Benefits of technology

The present invention is a storage system and method that can automatically allocate data to different functions based on its type and backup target. This helps to reduce the amount of data needed to be stored and also helps to meet the time limit for processing the backup.

Problems solved by technology

If data amount processed by a particular de-duplication function increases so much, the de-duplication function cannot process data within a data backup processing time window.
This is undesirable since routine works are affected by the event.

Abstract

Provided is a storage system which provides a data storage area to an external apparatus. The storage system includes at least a first information apparatus including a first logical storage area constituting the data storage area, and a first data processing part for performing a processing for reducing a storage capacity of the first logical storage area used by backup target data, and a second information apparatus including a second logical storage area constituting the data storage area, and a second data processing part for performing a processing for reducing a storage capacity of the second logical storage area used by backup target data. The second information apparatus is communicatively coupled with the first information apparatus.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present invention relates to PCT International Patent Application No. PCT / JP2011 / 007113 filed Dec. 20, 2011 designating the United States and its United States National Stage patent application Ser. No. 13 / 383,554, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a storage system and a method for controlling a storage system.BACKGROUND ART[0003]A storage system generally includes a computer such as a server computer executing data processing, hereinafter referred to as a “server”, and a storage apparatus communicatively coupled to the server, and is configured to store data processed by the server in the storage apparatus. Data processed by the server can be roughly classified into structured data stored into a database, for example, and other non-structured data. The non-structured data includes data in various formats such as document, image, and sound.[0004]With recent remarka...
