Distributed Object Store Principles of Operation The Case for Intelligent Storage
This work provides a conceptual analysis for system developers and researchers, but it is incremental as it speculates on future evolution without presenting new empirical results.
The paper examines the growth and underlying mechanisms of distributed object stores, focusing on their operational principles, evolution, and future directions to meet more demanding application requirements.
In this paper we look at the growth of distributed object stores (DOS) and examine the underlying mechanisms that guide their use and development. Our focus is on the fundamental principles of operation that define this class of system, how it has evolved, and where it is heading as new markets expand beyond the use originally presented. We conclude by speculating about how object stores as a class must evolve to meet the more demanding requirements of future applications.
