Region based processing and storage of data

Abstract:

A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. A first computing device determines that data to be processed for a request is confined to a geographic region in which the data is stored and identifies a second computing device within the geographic region in which the data is stored, wherein the identified second computing device and the computing device are connected to a network. The computing device directs the identified second computing to process the data within the geographic region to which the data is confined, according to the request, by one or more processing nodes executing on the identified second computing device.
