A computer program product is provided for auditing data in object storage. The computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to: send, by the processor, an object to an object storage system. A directive to audit the object is also sent to the object storage system by the processor. Furthermore, one or more additional directives are sent to the object storage system by the processor. Each of the one or more additional directives are independently selected from the group consisting of: a feedback directive to obtain feedback regarding a progress and/or a status of the audit; and a control directive to start, pause, or stop the audit.

Efficient auditing of data in object storage

A computer program product is provided for efficiently managing storage in a multi-tiered storage system. The computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the processor to receive a command from an application, where the command is directed to at least one object. The program instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the processor to determine storage for the at least one object in a multi-tiered storage system based on the command, and store the at least one object in accordance with the determined storage.

Efficiently managing movement of large amounts object data in a storage hierarchy

A computer program product is provided for auditing data in object storage. The computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by an object storage system to cause the object storage system to receive a directive to audit an object, and audit the object based on the directive. Additionally, the program instructions are executable by the object storage system to cause the object storage system to generate a result of the audit of the object.
