Abstract

The invention concerns a storage method for storing, on data servers (3, 4), data file (5, 61 to 64) slices (51 to 58) from the execution of a plurality of processes (65 to 68) of one or more applications (83, 85), comprising: distributing the stored data file (5, 61 to 64) slices (51 to 58) over different data servers (3, 4), characterized in that: this distribution is carried out in such a way that the data file (5, 61 to 64) slices (51 to 58) likely to be subsequently accessed simultaneously by different application (83, 85) processes (65 to 68) are stored on different data servers (3, 4) so as to reduce the subsequent access, to each of all or part of these data servers (3, 4) by too many application (83, 85) processes (65 to 68) simultaneously, and in that: the determination of the data file (5, 61 to 64) slices (51 to 58) likely to be subsequently accessed simultaneously by different application (83, 85) processes (65 to 68) has been carried out, during a prior phase of executing these application (83, 85) processes (65 to 68), by observing the behavior of these application (83, 85) processes (65 to 68) in order to access these stored data file (5, 61 to 64) slices (51 to 58)…
