For the system a virtual machine module is provided to access a library and to create virtual machine templates and to create virtual machines from the virtual machine templates. The virtual machine module provides to a host machine in the network access to machines, user profile settings and instances of an application in the network and to multiple operating systems. The client has: access to an instance of the resource; an access module to provide the client with communication to access to the server using load balancing algorithms to access the file using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) commands; and an authentication module providing access to a directory structure accessed by the server using Microsoft Group Policy Objects (GPOs) and Active Directory (AD) services to authenticate the client with the server.

A “Mass File Sharer” (MFS) provides a mass P2P file sharing protocol with optional on-demand file access across a P2P network. Unlike conventional P2P file sharing, the MFS simultaneously asynchronously shares large numbers of files, while providing optional on-demand (synchronous) access to shared files. The MFS uses a unique metadata structure in combination with an inter-peer file/folder version analysis and an inter-peer file/folder availability analysis to share complex directory structures that may include any number of folders, sub-folders, and files. Sharing may be asynchronous and/or synchronous. Specifically, file sharing is generally accomplished as an asynchronous distribution across the network. However, when a particular peer wants direct access particular files, an on-demand access mode is used to enable synchronous delivery of shared files. This combination of asynchronous and synchronous file distribution enables the MFS to support a number of applications, such as on-demand movie viewing, file/folder browsing, etc.

A system and method for efficiently building virtual appliances in a hosted environment is provided. In particular, a plurality of image archives may be stored in a build database, with each image archive including a file system having a directory structure and a plurality of files installed within the directory structure. In response to a build request containing an image description, a build engine may create a file system layout defining a directory structure for an image. The build engine may then copy the file system for one of the image archives to the file system layout for the image, wherein the copied file system may provide a subset of the file system for the image. The build engine may then build the image, which may include a file system having various files installed within various directories in accordance with the directory structure defined for the image.

A file switch, logically positioned between client computers and file servers in a computer network, distributes user files among multiple file servers using an aggregated directory mechanism. A hierarchical directory structure is created on the file servers and used to store metadata files, which store metadata for each user file to indicate where data files, containing portions of the user file, are stored. The file switch automatically spreads the data files and metadata files over a large number of distinct directories on multiple file servers, preventing large number of data files from being stored in a single directory on a single file server. In response to a directory enumeration request from a client computer, one or more directories of metadata files on one or more of the file servers is enumerated, instead of enumerating the data file that store the user file portions.

A method and system are provided for a virtual distributed data manager. In one example of the method, the virtual data manager involves receiving a request to mount a file system onto the client computer, wherein the file system is stored on the server system and contains the one or more data files; transferring a copy of a directory structure of the file system stored on the server system to the client computer; and creating on the client computer a virtual file system including the copy of the directory structure. The method is preferably transaction based and provides high performance on high latency network connections.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using a metadata image of a file system and archive instance to restore files in the file system. A metadata image of the file system for a point-in-time backup as of a point-in-time includes information on files and directories in the file system as of the point-in-time and an archive instance including a copy of database records in the backup database for the files in the point-in-time backup. A restore request is received. A file representation is created of each file to restore in the directory structure of the file system from the metadata image, wherein at least one of the created file representations indicates that the file is stored off-line and has an external identifier used to access information on the file in the database records in the archive instance for the point-in-time backup.

Some information would be static, such as owner identification, while other information will be dynamic such as the amount of free space. Still other information will be browseable such as the directory structure, file contents, storage unit total capacity, storage unit available space, storage unit directory structure, storage unit file names. storage unit file contents and device reliability statistics.

The invention discloses a small file optimization storage method based on a HDFS, wherein the efficiency for the HDFS to read small files is improved, and the overall performance of the system is improved. The method includes the steps that first, the small files are combined and undergo storage preprocessing, wherein the storage preprocessing on the small files is achieved through filtering of the filers, combination of the small files, generation of metadata and generation of object IDs; second, after the files are stored into the HDFS in a combined mode, the mapping relations between the small files and combined files in the HDFS are stored into the metadata of the small files in a mode of file metadata, a directory structure of the files is stored in a file name, and the metadata are stored in a mode of distributed clusters on the basis of a Chord protocol; third, the directory structure of the files is optimized, and generated key values of the metadata are decomposed into Directory IDs and Small File IDs. The Directory IDs serve as key values for the metadata to skip into nodes in a metadata cluster, and therefore the files under the same directory are stored into the same node. The Small File IDs are generated in metadata nodes, and therefore each of the metadata corresponds to unique ID identification in the whole system.
