Abstract

Systems and methods for efficiently protecting data within a distributed storage system using erasure coding. Unnecessary network traffic can be eliminated by scheduling executing erasure coding tasks on storage nodes that have local copies of data. Encoding may be performed in parallel by multiple nodes to reduce elapsed encoding time.
