ISTORE Philosophy: SAM
The ISTORE project is researching techniques for bringing scalability, availability, and maintainability (SAM) to large server systems
ISTORE vision: a self-testing HW/SW platform that automatically reacts to situations requiring an administrative response
- brings self-maintenance to applications and storage
ISTORE target: high-end servers for data-intensive infrastructure services
- single-purpose systems managing large amounts of data for large numbers of active network users
- e.g. TB of data, 10,000s requests/sec, millions of users
