Abstract: An embodiment computing device operating in a data storage system includes an object storage controller operable to divide an object into blocks and to create an object hash from hash values, and a network interface in communication with the object storage controller, the network interface operable to transmit the blocks to a storage subsystem that generates one of the hash values from each of the blocks, to receive the hash values from the storage subsystem, and to provide the hash values to the object storage controller for creation of the object hash from the hash values. In an embodiment, the object storage controller is operably coupled to a processor and a memory or stored on a computer readable medium.
