All this data creates new opportunities to expand human knowledge in fields like healthcare and human behavior and improve offered services like search, recommendation, and many others. It is not by accident that many academics but also public media refer to our era as the “Big Data” era. But these huge opportunities come with the requirement for better data management systems that, on one hand, can safely accommodate this huge and constantly increasing volume of data and, on the other, serve them in a timely and useful manner so that applications can benefit from processing them. This document focuses on the above two challenges that come with “Big Data”. In more detail, we study (i) backup storage systems as a means to safeguard data against a number of factors that may render them unavailable and (ii) data placement strategies on geographically distributed storage systems, with the goal to reduce the user perceived latencies and the network and storage resources are efficiently utilized. Throughout our study, data are placed in the centre of our design choices as we try to leverage content properties for both placement and efficient storage.
