Method and system for trust level based data storage in a distributed storage environment and trust level based access to the storage environment

摘要

The invention relates to a method and system for trust level-based data storage in a distributed storage environment and trust level based access to the storage environment. The method and system automatically performs data storage based on assigned trust levels of storage solutions and/or locations and a classified or required trust level of the data to be stored. The method and system automatically performs trust level based access control that allows access to the data in the storage environment only for applications and/or services which fulfil the assigned or required trust level of stored data.
