It sounds like you are looking for the functionality that Zones (aim to?) provide. Take a look at: http://wiki.openstack.org/MultiClusterZones > Is Openstack suitable in this environment?

Some links to look into: http://wiki.openstack.org/SheepdogSupport http://doubleclix.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/hadoop-2-0-openstack-pbj/ http://www.quora.com/What-features-differentiate-HDFS-and-OpenStack-Object-Storage Hope that helps.
