Research group ARCOS of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain) have been working on flexible and adaptive data storage systems for several years. The storage systems developed are featured by software governance, making them portable across different hardware storage resources, and their dynamic adaptativy to the different circumstances of computer systems following the autonomic system paradigm. They also allow getting high performance storage by using data distribution or striping across multiple devices.
One of the group’s technologies y the AFTSYS system. A fault-tolerant storage system for persistent distributed objects, user configurable and adaptive to system behaviour
