Abstract
Embodiments of a distributed data management system include a platform comprising a processor coupled to databases. A grid including agents is coupled to the platform, and each agent is an agent of the platform independently running on a client device. The agents generate and provide to the platform metadata that corresponds to the content of memory accessible by the client devices corresponding to the agents. The agents generate the metadata by hashing fragments of the content. The platform uses the metadata instead of the content to generate and assign to the agents tasks including tasks controlling at least one of storing, transferring and processing of the content. A task is a processing operation performed on content accessible by the agent responsible for the task.
