It intends to be primarily motivated by the requirements of the applications, management and system architectures, and to a lesser extent by the constraints and traditions of the storage industry. The resulting middleware system is targeting adoption in the HPC community by creation of or integration into various HPC software components, such as libraries. We also target adoption by storage vendors to layer this on either existing or new scalable high performance storage products.
