Systems and methods for accelerating object stores with distributed caching

Abstract:

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an object store with distributed caching including a distributed cache cluster including a first cache on a first node device and a second cache on a second node device. The object store with distributed caching further includes a gateway server communicatively coupled to the distributed cache cluster. The gateway server receives a request to store an object from a client device, determines whether the object satisfies an object policy, determines whether the request indicates that the object is to be split up into a plurality of shards, and stores a first shard of the plurality of shards in the first cache and a second shard of the plurality of shards in the second cache.
