Self-adaptive Storage Service System Based on Agent
Wang Bing-zhi · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2009
Storage resource in large-scale ocean storage system has more complicated architecture, protocol and I/O pattern than traditional storage system.However, current methods lack of thorough and intelligent theory model to deal with these complicated storage environments.In this paper, based on the characteristic of network storage, a self-adaptive storage service Agent model is introduced to match individual applications to most appropriate storage systems and storage services.The system architecture and essential modules are presented.The parameter matrices regarding the service-aware and storage-environment-aware are thoroughly studied.Self-adaptive module and service scheduling algorithm of multi-Agent collaboration are proposed.An experiment based on Swarm is deployed.This methodology can automatically match the service requirements and appropriate storage system so as to improve the storage QoS.
