Abstract
A method for implementing a storage system is described. The method includes accepting a filepath from a user that specifies a file. The method includes forming a primary key for a representation of the file. The method includes applying the primary key to a database cloud service to obtain a representation of the file. The representation of the file includes an inode for the file's meta data. The method includes using the inode for the file's meta data to obtain the file's meta data from a high performance object cloud storage service. The file's meta data points to information within the high performance object cloud storage service for accessing the file's stripes. The method includes accessing the information within the high performance object cloud storage service to obtain an object ID for a stripe within the file. The method includes using the object ID to access the stripe from a low performance object cloud storage service.
