Distributed global object storage

A computer network that enables access to data, the computer network comprising:

• a first spoke network that includes a first storage controller that receives, from an entity remote to the first spoke network, a message identifying a first content item, wherein the first content item is identified based on a task that is to be performed on the first content item, wherein the first storage controller is configured to access a tiered group of storage partitions that includes at least one local storage partition, and at least one cloud-based storage partition, wherein the first storage controller;
• and
• a second spoke network that accesses a second storage partition that stores the first content item received from the first spoke network,
• wherein the first storage controller further:
• determines a first storage partition, included in the tiered group of storage partitions, that stores the first content item;
• retrieves, from the first storage partition, the first content item;
• and
• causes the first content item to be transmitted to the second spoke network.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• receiving, by a first storage controller at a first spoke network and from an entity remote to the first spoke network, a message identifying a first content item, wherein the first content item is identified based on a task that is to be performed on the first content item;
• determining, by the first storage controller, a first storage partition that stores the first content item, wherein the first storage partition is accessible by a tiered group of storage partitions at the first spoke network;
• retrieving, by the first storage controller from the first storage partition, the first content item;
• and
• causing, by the first storage controller, the first content item to be transmitted to a second spoke network for storage in a second storage partition accessible by the second spoke network.
