摘要

Some embodiments are directed to an object addressable storage (OAS) system that stores a plurality of objects, a method for use in an OAS system and at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoded with instruction that, when performed by a computer perform a method for use in an OAS system. Each object may include a plurality of portions. A tiered storage environment comprising a plurality of storage tiers may be used. In response to a command a storage tier may be selected for each portion of the object. The OAS system may store at least one of the plurality of portions in a respective selected storage tier such that the object is stored in the OAS system with each of the portions being stored in its respective selected storage tier.

主权项

1. A method for use in an object addressable storage system that stores a plurality of objects and provides an object addressable interface via which at least some of the plurality of objects are accessible, wherein an object accessible via the object addressable interface is accessible via an object identifier, and the object addressable storage system is implemented in a tiered storage environment comprising a plurality of storage tiers, the method comprising:
in response to a command provided via the object addressable interface to access the object, selecting, for each of a plurality of portions of the object, a storage tier based on a value of a parameter specified for a respective portion of the plurality of portions; and storing at least one of the plurality of portions in a respective selected storage tier such that the object is stored in the object addressable storage system with the plurality of portions being stored in respective selected storage tiers.
