Abstract

See full text

A dispersed storage network (DSN) includes a DSN memory employing multiple distributed storage (DS) units, e.g., memory devices, operating at multiple different physical sites, with each site having one or more of the memory devices. A monitoring entity can monitor the sites to determine a data loss rate and a threshold communication bandwidth, e.g., a bandwidth available for rebuilding encoded data slices, associated with particular sites. If the data loss rate of a particular site exceeds the threshold communication bandwidth, the monitoring unit can send an alert message notifying, for example, a DSN controller, an integrity processing unit, the DSN memory, about the determination, so that corrective action can be taken.
