Abstract

With the rapid rise in data generation and the proliferation of edge devices, optimizing data placement in distributed file systems has become a critical challenge, especially when considering the interplay between edge and cloud computing environments. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers transformative potential in enhancing data placement strategies by improving both throughput and latency. This paper explores the application of AI-driven methods for intelligent data placement in distributed file systems within edge-cloud environments. By analyzing key AI techniques such as reinforcement learning (RL), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL), this paper discusses how these methods can optimize data access speed, minimize latency, and ensure efficient resource utilization across the edge-cloud continuum. The research also highlights the role of predictive analytics in anticipating data movement needs, along with real-world applications where AI has successfully been implemented. Furthermore, challenges such as system complexity, computational overhead, and data privacy concerns are addressed. This paper concludes with potential future directions for leveraging AI in distributed file systems, paving the way for more robust and scalable data management solutions in the era of edge and cloud computing.
