Abstract
A mechanism is provided for enabling separation of compute infrastructure built within a geographically located storage device. A determination is made as to whether a compute request originates from a geographical location that is the same as a geographical location of the geographically located storage device. Responsive to the compute request originating from a geographical location different from the geographical location of the geographically located storage device, a determination is made as to whether the compute request complies with governing requirements that govern the geographically located storage device. Responsive to the compute request complying with the requirements that govern the geographically located storage device, a determination is made as to whether the compute request is for data retrieval only. Responsive to the compute request being for data retrieval only, the requested data is gathered from data storage of the geographically located storage device and sent to a requesting client.
