Abstract

See full text

A data management system or “DMS” provides data services to data sources associated with a set of application host servers. The DMS typically comprises one or more regions, with each region having one or more clusters. A given cluster has one or more nodes that share storage. When providing continuous data protection and data distribution, the DMS nodes create distributed active object storage to provide the necessary real-time data management services. The distributed object store can be built above raw storage devices, a traditional file system, a special purpose file system, a clustered file system, and a database. The DMS active object store provides an indexing service to the active objects. In an illustrative embodiment, any object property that has a given attribute is indexed and, as a result, the attribute becomes searchable. The DMS provides hierarchical distributed indexing using index trees to facilitate searching.
