Abstract
A mechanism is provided for optimizing object storage workflow. A category of a computational algorithm received from a user of a client device is identified, the category identifying a set of storage area network (SAN) features that are optimal for executing the computational algorithm. Features associated with a plurality of nodes in a plurality of infrastructures in an object storage architecture are searched for at least one node that has the set of features identified by the category of the computational algorithm. Responsive to identifying a node that has the set of features identified by the category of the computational algorithm, a determination is made as to whether resources associated with the node are immediately available. Responsive to the resources associated with the node being immediately available, the computational algorithm is issued to the node for execution.
