Abstract
An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for optimizing a wide area network caching infrastructure in a file based object storage architecture. The embodiment may include creating, by a parent partition, a heat map. The embodiment may include prioritizing prefetching by multiple dependent partitions based on the heat map. In response to prioritized prefetching by the multiple dependent partitions, the embodiment may include allocating wide area network caching threads. The embodiment may include providing, by the parent partition, objects for prefetching by the multiple dependent partitions utilizing the allocated wide area network caching threads.
