  • a communication fabric;

    a storage module coupled to the communication fabric, the storage module having one or more storage devices for storing data;

    a client device coupled to the communication fabric, the client having an object descriptor (OD) generator to generate a plurality of object descriptors (ODs) for a plurality of data access sessions to access data stored in the storage devices of the storage module; and

    a first control module (CM) coupled to the client device and the storage module via the communication fabric to manage accesses of the storage module, wherein the first CM is adapted toreceive a request from client device to access a data object stored in the storage module, the request including an OD uniquely identifying the data object, wherein the OD is created by the OD generator of the client device,in response to the request, the first CM examines a first object descriptor table (ODT) associated with the first CM to determine whether the OD is valid, andin response to determining that the OD is valid, to allow the storage module to service the request.
