Abstract
A system, method, and machine-readable storage medium for retrieving data are provided. In some embodiments, a cache may receive a request for data from a client. The cache may determine that a first subset of the data is stored on a storage device and that a second subset of the data is stored at a cloud address located at a cloud storage endpoint. The cache may also receive from the storage device the first subset of data. The cache further receives from the cloud storage endpoint the second subset of data in response to transmitting a request for the second subset of data stored at the cloud address to the cloud storage endpoint. The cache then transmits to the client the first and second subsets of data from the various sources in response to the data request.
