Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for managing data objects within a computer network infrastructure that facilitate more efficient and reliable data storage and access are provided. An exemplary method may comprise establishing a physical identifier for each storage resource. A plurality of unique virtual identifiers for each storage resource is generated based on the physical identifier. The plurality of unique virtual identifiers is stored in a consistent ring namespace accessible to every node. An object identifier associated with a location of a data object to be stored in a storage resource is generated. The object identifier is mapped to the consistent ring namespace. The method may also include enabling traversing the consistent ring namespace from any node in the computer network to locate and access the data object.
