User configurable data storage
Aug 29, 2022 - 8x8, Inc.
In one or more examples, a method uses a system including data server, a processing circuit, and a data-communications server, with the server being used to route calls in the form of data communications to and from a plurality of telecommunication devices associated with respective user accounts. The server may store data generated by the plurality of telecommunication devices on the data server. The user accounts each have a settings file associated with the user account. In response to a set of criteria indicated in the settings file of one of the user accounts being satisfied, the processing circuit logs into a data server remote to the server may use login credentials included in the settings file. In further response to the set of criteria being satisfied, the processing circuit may copy one or more data files associated with the user account from the data server to the remote data server.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure relates to computing servers and data storage.
OVERVIEW
Computing servers are increasingly being used to provide various services over a network including but not limited to website hosting, remote data storage, remote computing services, virtual computing environments, and communication services (e.g., voice-over-IP (VoIP), video conferencing, call exchange servers, packet switching, and traffic management). For ease of reference, the various applications, systems and services that may be provided by computing servers may be collectively referred to as remote services.
SUMMARY
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to network applications that address challenges including those discussed above, and are applicable to a variety of applications, devices, systems, and methods. These and other aspects of the present disclosure are exemplified in a number of implementations and applications, some of which are shown in the figures and characterized in the claims section that follows.
In accordance with one or more embodiments, a method uses a data server, a data-communications (e.g., VoIP) server, and a processing circuit. The server routes calls to and from a plurality of telecommunication devices associated with respective user accounts. The server stores data generated by the plurality of telecommunication devices on the data server. The user accounts may each have a settings file associated with the user account. In response to a set of criteria indicated in the settings file of one of the user accounts being satisfied, the processing circuit logs into a second data server that is remote to the server using login credentials included in the settings file. In further response to the set of criteria being satisfied, the processing circuit copies one or more data files associated with the user account from the data server to the remote data server.
Using a computing server, an overall communications system may be used to provide one or more remote services are provided to a user associated with a user account. Data generated by the user of the one or more remote services may be stored on a data server. A set of criteria is indicated in a settings file associated with the user account. In response to the set of criteria being satisfied, a data server remote to the computing server is logged into using login credentials included in the settings file. One or more data files are copied from the data server to the remote data server.
In accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus is also disclosed that includes a first data server, a computing server, and a processing circuit. The computing server provides one or more remote services to a user. In response to the user of the one or more remote services generating data, the processing circuit selects one of a set of data servers for storage of the data based on a set of criteria indicated in a settings file associated with the user. The set of data servers includes the first data server and also a second data server that is remote to the computing server.
