Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: creating a namespace in a central storage location, and dividing the namespace into more than one cell. A first cell is a common cell configured to store management data received from remote storage locations coupled to the central storage location. Each of the remaining cells are configured to store object data received from a respective one of the remote storage locations. The computer-implemented method further includes: receiving management data from the remote storage locations, storing the received management data in the common cell of the central storage location, receiving object data corresponding to the management data received from the remote storage locations, and storing the received object data in the respective cells of the central storage location. The management data corresponds to object data stored in the remote storage locations. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.
