A computer implemented method and system for generating secure universal object identifiers on a multipurpose storage system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a client system in communication with a network. An application server is in communication with the network. A storage cluster is in communication with the network. The storage cluster has a plurality of storage nodes. The client system stores a data object via the application server. The application server generates an object identifier assigned to the data object. The application server stores the data object on a storage node of the plurality of storage nodes. The data object is moved to another application server without moving contents of the data object in the storage cluster.

Method for generating universal objects identifiers in distributed multi-purpose storage systems

A method and system having a probabilistic offload engine for distributed hierarchical object storage devices is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a first storage system and a second storage system in communication with the first storage system. The first storage system and the second storage system are key/value based object storage devices that store and serve objects. The first storage system and the second storage system execute a probabilistic algorithm to predict access patterns. The first storage system and the second storage system execute a probabilistic algorithm to predict access patterns and minimize data transfers between the first storage system and the second storage system.

Probabilistic offload engine for distributed hierarchical object storage devices

A multipurpose storage system based upon a distributed hashing mechanism with transactional support and failover capability is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a client system in communication with a network, a secondary storage system in communication with the network, and a supervisor system in communication with the network. The supervisor system assigns a unique identifier to a first node system and places the first node system in communication with the network in a location computed by using hashing. The client system stores a data object on the first node system.
