Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions which are executed by the at least one processor and configure the processor to implement a proxy server for hybrid geo-dispersed erasure coding (EC). Responsive to receiving from an application server a request to write an object, the proxy server in a first storage site splits the object into a plurality of EC slices. The proxy server stores a first EC slice in a first storage device via a storage server local to the proxy server. The proxy server stores a plurality of remaining EC slices in a cache storage local to the proxy server. Responsive to determining that network access is available to disperse the plurality of slices among a plurality of geographically distributed storage sites, the proxy server copies the plurality of remaining EC slices to the plurality of geographically distributed storage sites using geo-dispersed erasure coding.
