Patent attributes
An asset storage server is provided herein that assigns related files to an asset name and assigns permissions to the asset name such that related files with unrelated names can be assigned permissions independent of the file naming convention and without requiring a user to individually set the permissions of each file. The asset storage server may also generate modified versions of original file names and index a distributed object store based on the modified versions such that related files with related names are not listed in the same partition of the distributed object store. Indexing the distributed object store based on the modified versions of the original file names may reduce data retrieval latency.
