Abstract

A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for providing a site cache manager is discussed. Data objects may be read from a site cache rather than an authoritative object store. This provides performance benefits when a client reading the data has a better connection to the site cache than to the authoritative object store. The site cache manager controls the volume of stored data on the site cache to enhance performance by increasing the frequency of data object being read from or written to the site cache rather than the authoritative object store.
