Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for object-granular policy assignment in an object storage environment includes: automatically assigning a plurality of objects stored within the object storage environment to one or more policies; and locating one or more of the objects among a plurality of policy rings within the object storage environment based on semantics of the one or more policies. A virtual namespace maps each object to at least one of the policy rings based on the one or more policies assigned to the object; and the virtual namespace is scalable with a number of the plurality of objects stored within the object storage environment. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also disclosed.
