Abstract
A docking scheme enables storage systems to adapt different storage configurations to different clients. Dock configurations identify reconfigurable sets of storage extensions for executing storage operations in a resource node. The resource node receives storage requests from clients and identifies the dock configurations associated with the clients. The resource node then generates a set of storage operations that implement the storage extensions for the identified dock configuration and uses the storage operations to execute the storage requests. Different clients may thus access the same stored data through different docks resulting on different operations within the resource node with the aim of optimizing performance for all clients.
