Patent

CA 2216723

A system and method for real time data migration in a networked computer system (1) uses a known operating system feature, a sparse file (4C), to represent a migrated file. The sparse file consumes a minimum amount of physical space on the file server (10) but is defined as having the same size and attributes as the original file. When a user accesses a migrated file, the file appears to be resident on the file server and is automatically and transparently returned to the file server from an optimized storage location in a hierarchical storage management system (20, 30).

L'invention concerne un système et une méthode permettant le transfert de données en temps réel dans un système informatique connecté au réseau (1), au moyen d'un dispositif connu dans les systèmes d'exploitation, le fichier creux (4C), qui fait office de fichier transféré. Bien que le fichier creux occupe un minimum d'espace dans le serveur de fichiers (10) il a les mêmes dimensions et les mêmes caractéristiques que le fichier originel. Lorsque l'utilisateur accède à un fichier transféré, ce dernier réside sur le serveur de fichier et est renvoyé automatiquement et de façon transparente au serveur de fichier à partir d'une position de mémoire optimale dans un système hiérarchique de gestion de mémoires (20, 30).
