METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA RECOVERY IN A CLOUD BASED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT UTILIZING OBJECT STORAGE

1 . A method for replicating block storage to an object storage, the method comprising:

receiving write instructions from an original component (OC) in a first network, wherein the write instructions include a data block;

mapping the write instructions to at least one object in the object storage; and

storing the data block of the write instructions in the mapped at least one object in a second network.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing metadata associated with the data block in a storage map.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the metadata includes at least one of: a timestamp and a logical address.

4 . The method of clam 1 , further comprising:

generating a checksum of the data block;

comparing the generated checksum to a checksum of the at least one object; and

updating the at least one object when the generated checksum does not match the checksum of the at least one object.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a plurality of write instructions; and

storing the data block of the plurality of write instructions when the number of write instructions exceeds a predetermined threshold.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the threshold is any of: static, dynamic, or adaptive.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving from an OC a request for a data block stored in the object storage;

retrieving the requested data block from the object storage; and

sending the data block retrieved from the object storage to the OC.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

sending data stored in the at least one object of the object storage in response to the request from the OC; and

initializing a replicated component (RC), the RC comprising at least one storage corresponding to the at least one storage of the OC.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one object is mapped to corresponding data blocks stored in at least one storage of the RC.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one object is mapped in response to the RC receiving an input/output (I/O) request related a data block which is not currently restored.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting that the object storage and the block storage are not consistent; and

sending one or more data blocks to the object storage to recover consistency between the object storage and the block storage.

12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to perform a process, the process comprising:

receiving write instructions from an original component (OC) in a first network, wherein the write instructions include a data block;

mapping the write instructions to at least one object in the object storage; and

storing the data block of the write instructions in the mapped at least one object in a second network.

13 . A system for replicating block storage to an object storage, comprising:

a processing circuitry; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

receive write instructions from an original component (OC) in a first network, wherein the write instructions include a data block;

map the write instructions to at least one object in the object storage; and

store the data block of the write instructions in the mapped at least one object in a second network.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system if further configured to:

store metadata associated with the data block in a storage map.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the metadata includes at least one of: a timestamp and a logical address.

16 . The system of clam 13 , wherein the system if further configured to:

generate a checksum of the data block;

compare the generated checksum to a checksum of the at least one object; and

update the at least one object when the generated checksum does not match the checksum of the at least one object.

17 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system if further configured to:

receive a plurality of write instructions; and

store the data block of the plurality of write instructions when the number of write instructions exceeds a predetermined threshold.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the threshold is any of: static, dynamic, or adaptive.

19 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system if further configured to:

receive from an OC a request for a data block stored in the object storage;

retrieve the requested data block from the object storage; and

send the data block retrieved from the object storage to the OC.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the system if further configured to:

send data stored in the at least one object of the object storage in response to the request from the OC; and

initialize a replicated component (RC), the RC comprising at least one storage corresponding to the at least one storage of the OC.

21 . The system of claim 20 , wherein the at least one object is mapped to corresponding data blocks stored in at least one storage of the RC.

22 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the at least one object is mapped in response to the RC receiving an input/output (I/O) request related a data block which is not currently restored.

23 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system if further configured to:

detect that the object storage and the block storage are not consistent; and

send one or more data blocks to the object storage to recover consistency between the object storage and the block storage.
