Abstract
Techniques described and suggested herein include systems and methods for minimizing inter-facility data transfer during retrieval of data archives stored on data storage systems using redundancy coding techniques. For example, redundancy coded shards, which may include identity shards that contain unencoded original data of archives, may be configured such that a variable number of the shards can be leveraged to meet performance requirements or time-to-retrieval limitations for retrieval requests associated with the archives stored and/or encoded therein. Under some circumstances, implementing systems may monitor throughput rates, capabilities, and burdens, so as to preferentially retrieve data such that the identity shards are favored and fewer hosting data storage facilities are used for a given retrieval.
