Abstract
Machines, systems and methods for dynamically implementing storlets in a storage data path. The method comprises receiving a request to perform a storage-related function on data stored on a first data storage medium in a data storage system; verifying the request by way of an authentication and authorization mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to data stored on the first data storage medium in the data storage system; and utilizing a storlet to service the request, wherein the storlet is dynamically deployed on a node in the data storage system such that the node has sufficient resources to support the storlet to service the request.
