Abstract:
A non-transitory readable storage medium storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to perform a method of managing content and associated metadata in a network by a cache repository. The method comprises receiving content and associated data from a content source located in a local network of an edge facility; storing the content in the cache repository located in the local network of the edge facility; sending the content to an active repository remote from the local network of the edge facility for storage; and determining if a connection to the remote repository can be established in the network. If the connection to the active repository can be established, the method includes retrieving by the cache repository the content from the active repository; and if the connection to the active repository cannot be established, the method retrieves the content from the backup repository.
