Abstract
A storage system for synchronously replicating a dataset across hardware-based storage systems and cloud-based storage systems, the storage system including specifying a set of managed objects, a set of management operations, and a set of access operations to correspond to the dataset, where management operations can modify or query managed objects equivalently through the hardware-based storage systems and the cloud-based storage systems; access operations to read or modify the dataset operate equivalently through the hardware-based storage systems and the cloud-based storage systems; each hardware-based storage system and each cloud-based storage system stores a separate copy of the dataset as a proper subset of the datasets stored and advertised for use; and operations to modify managed objects or the dataset performed and completed through the hardware-based storage systems and the cloud-based storage systems are reflected in subsequent management objects to query the dataset or subsequent access operations to read the dataset.
