Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: sending management data to a designated common cell in a namespace of a central storage location from one or more remote storage locations. The management data corresponds to object data stored at the one or more remote storage locations. the object data stored at each of the one or more remote storage locations is further transferred to a respective cell in the namespace of the central storage location. Moreover, a modified consistency hashing algorithm configuration is implemented. The modified consistency hashing algorithm configuration routes updates of existing object data in the one or more remote storage locations to the respective cells in the central storage location. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.
