1. A computerized method of providing a second computerized client device access to digital content recorded via a first computerized client device, the first and second computerized client devices associated with a content distribution network, the computerized method comprising:
receiving, from the first computerized client device associated, data representative of a first request to record the digital content;
causing storage of the digital content at a first storage location of a multi-user partitioned cloud-based storage apparatus;
receiving, from the second computerized client device, data representative of a request to access the digital content;
based at least on the receipt of the data representative of the request to access the digital content, transfer the digital content from the first storage location to a second storage location of the multi-user partitioned cloud-based storage apparatus;
receiving, from one or more respective third computerized client devices, data representative of one or more respective second requests to record the digital content; and
based at least on a determination that the receipt of the data representative of the one or more respective second requests occurred within a prescribed time period of the receipt of the data representative of the first request, dismissing the one or more respective second requests to record the digital content so as to at least result in a reduction of network latency associated with at least a portion of the content distribution network.
