20150177999 | STORAGE NETWORK DATA RETRIEVAL - According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method of retrieving data in a storage network may include determining a list of storage blocks of a storage network for potential retrieval of a data file for storage on a first storage block of the storage network. The determining may be based on two or more of: assignment information of the data file as assigned by a storage network manager, location information, device types, peer-to-peer reachability, network information, and presence information. The method may also include attempting to retrieve the data file from a second storage block included in the list of storage blocks for storage on the first storage block. Further, the method may include attempting to retrieve the data file from a third storage block included in the list of storage blocks for storage on the first storage block when retrieval from the second storage block fails. | 06-25-2015 |

20140289263 | MANAGEMENT OF THUMBNAIL DATA ASSOCIATED WITH DIGITAL ASSETS - According to example configurations, a digital asset manager receives a digital asset. The digital asset manager generates multiple sets of thumbnail data based on the digital asset. Each of the multiple sets of thumbnail data can be encoded to support display of a different thumbnail resolution of the digital asset. The digital asset manager initiates storage of the multiple sets of thumbnail data in a unit of storage of a repository. The unit of storage can be pre-allocated for storing the multiple sets of thumbnail data associated with the digital asset. Accordingly, in lieu of storing data for each thumbnail in a different file as in conventional methods, configurations herein can include storing thumbnail data in the same unit of storage or file. Thus, multiple sets of thumbnail data for a corresponding digital asset can be stored in a single file. | 09-25-2014 |
