Abstract
A server system comprising processing devices, disks and a storage fabric, all arranged to operate according to a storage fabric protocol in order to communicate between the processing devices and the storage devices over the storage fabric, wherein the storage fabric is settable with a mapping determining which of the processing devices are allocated to use which of the storage devices in providing said services to the client systems. The system comprises a control function arranged to dynamically adapt the mapping in response to either: (i) failure or other downtime of one of the processing devices, storage devices, a component of the storage fabric or a connection in the storage fabric; or (ii) a current demand for the services from the client systems.
