Abstract
Storing an entity as an object or a file in a hybrid storage system based on an accessing protocol is presented herein. In response to determining that a request to modify a data entity is based on an object storage protocol, and in response to determining that the data entity is a first object that is represented as a first file in a file storage device, the hybrid storage system creates the first object in an object storage device and deletes the first file. Further, in response to determining that the request is based on a file storage protocol, and that the data entity is a second file that is represented as a second object in the object storage device, the hybrid storage system creates the second file in the file storage device and deletes the second object.
