Abstract
Systems and methods for optimal data storage are provided. The method comprises storing data objects that are most closely related in a storage container by modeling a constraint satisfaction problem for placement of said data objects in one or more storage containers, wherein a weight is assigned to an edge connecting two data objects based on an association defining relationships between the two data objects connected by said edge, taking into account certain penalties for placing multiple copies of the same object in the one or more storage containers, and wherein a storage container comprises a logical or physical storage area as a unit of storage.
