Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: dividing a namespace in a central storage location into more than one cell. A first of the more than one cell is a common cell, which is 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. Management data received from the remote storage locations is stored in the common cell of the central storage location. Object data is also received, where the object data corresponds to the management data received from the remote storage locations. Furthermore, the received object data is stored in the respective cells of the central storage location. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.
