Abstract
A method and system for selecting servers for storage of replicas of a block of data is provided. The system selects a first server for storage of the data. The first server has a first processor utilization classification and a first reimaging rate classification. The system then selects a second server for storage of the data. The second server has a second processor utilization classification and a second reimaging rate classification. The system selects the second server so that the second processor utilization classification is different from the first processor utilization classification and the second reimaging rate classification is different from the first reimaging rate classification.
