Abstract

Systems and techniques to access data in a computer system provide centralized data storage management for facilitating access to a plurality of different data repositories. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes sending a data access request to a data storage manager and identifying at least one of a plurality of repositories for satisfying the data access request. The repositories may be of different types. In addition, data may be partitioned among the repositories according to data object types and/or attribute characteristics. Once an appropriate repository is identified, the data access request is fulfilled using the identified repository.
