Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for using metadata to efficiently access object data from two or more storage components. Control circuitry receives a request from a host device to perform an operation on a uniquely identified object in a storage system comprising at least a first storage component and a second storage component. Control circuitry retrieves metadata information about the location of the object in store, wherein the metadata information comprises a first indication of a location of the object in the first storage component and a second indication of a location of the object in the second storage component. The objects in one or both of the first and second storage components are located based on the retrieved metadata information, and the requested operation is performed on the requested object.
