Abstract
A method and system having a probabilistic offload engine for distributed hierarchical object storage devices is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a first storage system and a second storage system in communication with the first storage system. The first storage system and the second storage system are key/value based object storage devices that store and serve objects. The first storage system and the second storage system execute a probabilistic algorithm to predict access patterns. The first storage system and the second storage system execute a probabilistic algorithm to predict access patterns and minimize data transfers between the first storage system and the second storage system.
