Systems and methods for balancing electronic mailboxes among databases communicatively coupled to an information handling system are disclosed. A method may include comparing an actual utilization values for a first database to a threshold utilization value for the first database and, depending upon the results, identifying the first database as over-utilized. The method may also include comparing an actual utilization values for a second database to a threshold utilization value for the second database and, depending upon the results, identifying the second database as under-utilized. The method may further include comparing a threshold usage value of a first electronic mailbox stored in the first database to an upper threshold usage value for the first electronic mailbox and, depending upon the results, identifying the first electronic mailbox as heavily-utilized. The method may also include moving the heavily-utilized electronic mailbox to the second database.

A method and system for on-premises to cloud workload migration through cyclic deployment and evaluation. Existing processes for transferring on-premises workloads onto the public cloud are often painstakingly manual and laborious, in order to ensure proper workload interoperability between the different infrastructures. To address this existing dilemma in inter-infrastructure workload migration, the disclosed method and system employs a cyclic monitoring, deploying, and evaluating scheme to automate and implement optimal strategies for migrating on-premises workloads onto public and/or hybrid cloud computing environments.

A method for securing data in a data cluster is performed by a data manager of a data cluster. The method includes receiving, by a data cluster, a write request for a user to write data to the data cluster, wherein the write request comprises an object identifier (OID) associated with data and a user identifier (UID) associated with the user; sending, to a key manager, an intermediate key request, wherein the intermediate key request comprises the UID; receiving, by the data cluster from the key manager, an intermediate key; processing the data to obtain a plurality of chunks and metadata associated with the plurality of chunks; generating an encryption key using the intermediate key and the OID; encrypting the metadata using the encryption key to generate encrypted metadata; deleting, after generating the encrypted metadata, the encryption key; and storing the encrypted metadata and the plurality of chunks in the data cluster.

A method and system for collaborative workload placement and optimization. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail implementing metric exchange between hosts in a clustered or non-clustered environment to perform infrastructure workload placement and optimization decisions. The exchange of metrics may be performed through a lightweight service, which would not impact any existing environment resource utilization. Further, resource utilization maps may be used to offer near real-time tracking of resource utilization across the aforementioned hosts, thereby facilitating resource utilization forecasting for the efficient placement and optimization of workloads throughout the environment.

A method and system for workload aware storage replication. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail establishing preferential transports for critical workload data targeted for replication from one cluster infrastructure to another. Existing replication solutions fail to prioritize the replication of critical over non-critical workload data, which the disclosed method and system rectify.

In general, the invention relates to a method for storing data. The method includes obtaining data from a host, making a first determination that a data cluster comprises a plurality of non-volatile memory devices, based on the first determination: storing processed data corresponding to the data in at least one of the plurality of non-volatile memory devices, and making a second determination to de-stage at least a portion of the processed data to a persistent storage device, and based on the second determination, initiating a delayed compression operation on the processed data.
