Abstract
The present invention is directed to a distributed data migration and storage system and method configured for fully parallel writing and retrieval of data objects to (and from) the Web Object Scaler (WOS) object storage system with highly efficient accessibility and using a simplified set of filing commands. The data objects migrate between data generating entities and the WOS object storage through an intermediate Burst Buffer tier (supported by the Infinite Memory Engine) without the utilization of a serial process substantially simultaneously through parallel channels. The metadata for each object is captured with appropriate pointers for efficient finding of the object in the WOS storage system. The WOS nodes return the stored objects' ID (OIDs) corresponding to the objects storage address which are used for the object access.
