Abstract

Claims (52)

1. A computer-implemented method to support efficient access to a content management system, the method comprising:

receiving data associated with use of a content item in a content management system;

measuring use of storage resources of the content management system for maintaining the content item in one or more storage locations associated with the content management system;

measuring use of processing resources of the content management system for processing the content item using one or more applications executed on or associated with the content management system;

assigning one or more usage metrics to the content item based on the storage resources and the processing resources for storing and processing the content item;

generating at least one database schema for a database of the content management system used for storing the content item based on the one or more usage metrics;

implementing the at least one database schema over the content management system by applying an optimization analysis to the at least one database schema taking into account at least one of access frequency to the content item, location of one or more users accessing the content item, availability of the processing resources, and the availability of the storage resources;

increasing, via the at least one database schema, access efficiency to the content item in response to a usage metric that is assigned to the content item, the usage metric indicating an increase in the processing resources and the storage resources, compared to other content items maintained by the content management system;

assigning resources to a user group based on the usage metric assigned to the content item; and

increasing the access efficiency to the content item based on a device type, a location of the user group and cache requirements.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

assigning the usage metric to the content item based on a measured use of the storage resources or the processing resources, wherein the at least one database schema facilitates access to the content item based on the usage metric assigned to the content item.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one database schema is configured to provide reliable access to the content item, in response to detecting the usage metric indicative of the content item requiring increased access to at least one of content management system storage or the processing resources.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the usage metric associated with the content item provides an indication of an entity that created the content item.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the storage resources or the processing resources include human resources.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

assigning users of the content management system to a user group based on at least one shared characteristic of the users, the at least one shared characteristic including a location of the users, a role of the users and a security clearance of the users;

measuring a usage, of the content item, by the user group; and,

generating a user group database schema for the content item based on the usage of the content item by the user group.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one shared characteristic includes a location of the users.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one shared characteristic includes a rank of the users.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one shared characteristic includes a role of the users.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a first database schema having a plurality of dimensions for a plurality of user groups in a first organization, the first database schema being optimized based on use of the content item by one or more members of the plurality of user groups and a first usage metric assigned to the content item based on an analysis of access frequency and popularity of the content item being accessed by the users of the first organization; and

generating a second database schema having a plurality of dimensions for a plurality of user groups in a second organization, the second database schema being optimized based on use of the content item by one or more members of the plurality of user groups and a second usage metric assigned to the content item based on an analysis of access frequency and popularity of the content item being accessed by the users of the second organization.

11. A computer-implemented system comprising:

an analytics engine configured to perform one or more operations, the operations comprising:

receiving data associated with use of a content item in a content management system;

measuring a use of content management system resources required for maintaining the content item maintained in the content management system, the maintaining the content item including at least storing the content item in a database and processing the content item in response to interactions with one or more application processes operating on the content management system;

assigning values of a usage metric to the content item, the usage metric providing an indication of the content management system resources required for maintaining the content item;

generating a database schema for a database of the content management system, the database schema being defined based on the use of the content item and the values of the usage metric assigned to the content item and being configured to reduce the use of the content management system resources required to maintain the content item;

transmitting the database schema to the content management system for implementation in the database of the content management system;

increasing, via the database schema, access efficiency to the content item in response to the usage metric that is assigned to the content item, the usage metric indicating an increase in processing resources of the content management system and storage resources of the content management system, compared to other content items maintained by the content management system;

assigning resources to a user group based on the usage metric assigned to the content item; and

increasing the access efficiency to the content item based on a device type, a location of the user group and cache requirements.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the database schema facilitates access to the content item based on the usage metric assigned to the content item.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the usage metric associated with a content item provides an indication of an entity that created the content item.
