Abstract
Scaling out of a geographically diverse storage system is disclosed. A first chunk can be selected to be moved in response to scaling out of the geographically diverse storage system. In some embodiments, the first chunk can be convolved, combined, etc., with a second chunk prior to moving a representation of information comprised in the first chunk, e.g., via copy and delete operations. The moving can be in accord with a geographically diverse storage system schema and can be based on a criteria associated with the geographically diverse storage system. In an embodiment the convolved chunk can be copied to a new zone and, subsequently, the first chunk can be deleted from the old zone. In another embodiment the combined chunk can be retained at the old zone and the first chunk can be copied to the new zone prior to deleting the first chunk from the old zone.
