Systems and methods and systems for reading data sequentially on a media

A method to read data sequentially on a media comprising:

• identifying, by a head server in communication with a plurality of storage devices, a first read location corresponding to a first plurality of portions of a first object;
• determining, by the head server, a first length of the first plurality of portions of the first object;
• identifying, by the head server, a second read location corresponding to a second plurality of portions of a second object using the first length;
• transmitting, by respective ones of the first subset of plurality of storage devices, each of the first plurality of portions from the first read location to the head server;
• reading, by the head server, the first plurality of portions of the first object from the first subset of plurality of storage devices;
• incrementing, by the head server, a read pointer from the first read location to the second read location based on the first length;
• transmitting, by respective ones of the second subset of plurality of storage devices, each of the second plurality of portions from the second read location to the head server;
• and
• reading, by the head server, the second plurality of portions of the second object from the second subset of plurality of storage devices.
