Storage Framework

A Storage Framework is a software framework that provides storage abstraction for storage operations.

• AKA: Storage System Framework, Storage Library, Storage Abstraction Layer.
• Context:
  • It can typically provide Storage Framework I/O Interface through storage framework apis.
  • It can typically enable Storage Framework Data Management through storage framework data structures.
  • It can typically support Storage Framework Performance Optimization through storage framework caching mechanisms.
  • It can typically implement Storage Framework Error Handling through storage framework fault tolerance.
  • It can typically facilitate Storage Framework Resource Management through storage framework allocation strategy.
  • ...
  • It can often deliver Storage Framework Compression through storage framework compression algorithms.
  • It can often provide Storage Framework Encryption through storage framework security layers.
  • It can often enable Storage Framework Replication through storage framework redundancy mechanisms.
  • It can often support Storage Framework Migration through storage framework data movement.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Block Storage Framework to being an Object Storage Framework, depending on its storage framework data model.
  • It can range from being a Local Storage Framework to being a Distributed Storage Framework, depending on its storage framework architecture.
  • It can range from being a Kernel-Space Storage Framework to being a User-Space Storage Framework, depending on its storage framework execution context.
  • It can range from being a General-Purpose Storage Framework to being a Specialized Storage Framework, depending on its storage framework use case.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Storage Framework Driver for storage framework hardware access.
  • It can connect to Storage Framework Controller for storage framework device management.
  • It can interface with Storage Framework Network Protocol for storage framework remote access.
  • It can communicate with Storage Framework Monitoring Tool for storage framework performance tracking.
  • It can synchronize with Storage Framework Backup System for storage framework data protection.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • High-Performance Storage Frameworks, such as:
    • Storage Performance Development Kit System for storage framework acceleration.
    • DPDK Storage Framework for storage framework packet processing.
    • io_uring Framework for storage framework async i/o.
  • Distributed Storage Frameworks, such as:
    • Ceph Storage Framework for storage framework distributed object.
    • GlusterFS Framework for storage framework distributed file.
    • MinIO Framework for storage framework object storage.
  • File System Frameworks, such as:
    • FUSE Framework for storage framework user-space filesystem.
    • ZFS Framework for storage framework advanced filesystem.
    • Btrfs Framework for storage framework copy-on-write.
  • Database Storage Frameworks, such as:
    • RocksDB Framework for storage framework key-value storage.
    • LevelDB Framework for storage framework embedded database.
    • WiredTiger Framework for storage framework database engine.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Storage Devices, which are hardware components rather than storage framework software.
  • File Systems, which provide file abstractions rather than storage framework abstractions.
  • Database Management Systems, which manage structured data rather than provide storage framework interfaces.
