1. In a computing environment, a system comprising:

  • a translator component coupled to a plurality of storage nodes and operative to parallelize input/output operations associated with file data within a binary large object, the plurality of storage nodes being associated with parallel storage of portions of the binary large object and each storage node being operative to serve a portion of the portions within a processing cycle, the translator component further operative to partition the file data into a plurality of blocks of which each block size is equal to the portion size, translate file-level addresses corresponding to offsets in the plurality of blocks into block-level addresses corresponding to an offset in the portion being served by the each storage node, and using the block-level addresses to retrieve the plurality of blocks within the processing cycle when handling the input/output operations.
