Abstract
Variety of approaches to provide partial storage of large files in distinct storage systems are described. A storage service initiates operations to provide storage of large files by determining a rapid access portion and a slow access portion of a file. The rapid access portion of the file is stored in a rapid access storage system and the slow access portion of the file (or an entirety of the file) is stored in a slow access storage system. In response to an access request to the file, the rapid access portion of the file is provided from the rapid access storage system. Next, the slow access portion of the file is retrieved from the slow access storage system to be provided while providing the rapid access portion of the file.
