Abstract
Systems for cloud-based storage systems. Embodiments commence upon deploying a server in a cloud-based environment, such that the server is configured to interface with one or more storage facilities that are accessible over a network by the server to provide cloud-based storage services in response to a storage command originating from a user terminal. The deployed server is connected to the network such that the server receives storage commands that pertain to one or more source objects that are associated with a set of source attributes. A policy manager applies one or more source-aware storage policies by determining a set of storage policies based at least in part on the one or more associated source attributes. The policy manager accesses a routing table of target storage locations and, in accordance with the source-aware policies, sends source objects over the network to one or more of the target storage locations.
