Methods And Systems For Storing Replicated Data In The Cloud

1 . A method for storing replicated data comprising:

receiving data at a remote data repository; and

storing the received data at the remote data repository based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among a group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing critical data within the received data in a cache of the repository and storing at least the data stored in the cache in a database of the repository.

2 . The method as in claim 1 further comprising storing the received data at the remote data repository based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing critical data within the received data in a cache of the repository and asynchronously storing non-critical data within the received data in the database of the remote data repository.

3 . The method as in claim 1 further comprising storing the received data at the remote data repository based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing critical data within the received data in a cache of the repository and asynchronously storing the critical data and non-critical data within the received data in the database of the remote data repository.

4 . The method as in claim 1 further comprising storing the received data at the remote data repository based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing the critical data in a cache of the repository and synchronously storing at least the critical data in the database of the remote data repository.

5 . The method as in claim 1 further comprising storing the received data at the remote data repository based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing the critical data in the cache of the remote data repository or asynchronously storing non-critical data within the received data in the database of the remote data repository.

6 . The method as in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving next data at a next remote data repository; and

storing the next, received data at the next remote data repository based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among a group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing critical data within the next data in a cache of the repository and storing at least the data stored in the cache in a database of the repository.

7 . A system for storing replicated data comprising:

one or more hardware servers, each server configured as a remote data repository operable to,

receive data; and

store the received data based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among a group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing critical data within the received data in a cache and storing at least the data stored in the cache in a database.

8 . The system as in claim 7 wherein each of the one or more hardware servers comprises an application server.

9 . The system as in claim 7 , wherein each of the servers is further operable to store the received data based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing the critical data in the cache and asynchronously storing non-critical data within the received data in the database.

10 . The system as in claim 7 , wherein each of the servers is further operable to store the received data based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing critical data within the received data in a cache of the repository and asynchronously storing the critical data and non-critical data within the received data in the database of the remote data repository.

11 . The system as in claim 7 , wherein each of the servers is further operable to store the received data based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing the critical data in a cache and synchronously storing at least the critical data in the database.

12 . The system as in claim 7 , wherein each of the servers is further operable to store the received data based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among the group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing the critical data in a cache or asynchronously storing non-critical data within the received data in a database.

13 . The system as in claim 7 further comprising:

a next one of the one or more hardware servers, the next server configured as a remote data repository operable to,

receive next data; and

store the next, received data based on a replication mode, wherein the replication mode is selected from among a group of modes that includes a mode for synchronously storing critical data within the next, received data in a cache and storing at least the next data stored in the cache in a database.

14 . A system for retrieving stored data from a cloud-based network comprising:

one or more hardware servers, each server configured as a remote data repository operable to,

receive a request to retrieve critical or non-critical data;

determine whether the critical or non-critical data is stored in an associated storage device;

retrieve the critical or non-critical data from an associated storage device based on a determination that the critical or non-critical data is stored at the associated storage device; and

send the critical or non-critical data to a user.
