In some embodiments, the memory includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to store a third object in a second region based on the third object having a second policy. In some embodiments, a virtual disk includes the first region and the second region.

System and method for mapping objects to regions

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor having programmed instructions to map a plurality of objects to a region and map the region to a plurality of vdisks. The plurality of objects are stored in the plurality of vdisks. The processor has programmed instructions to, responsive to mapping the plurality of objects to the region, identify a policy associated with the region. The policy specifies a policy action in response to satisfying a predetermined condition.
