The constant growth of new data (at an annual rate of 30% and even 50% for several applications). The increment in performance demands (in some cases I/O can account for between 20 to 40 percent of total execution time). This has led to an increased interest in storage systems capable to upgrade periodically their capabilities without replacing the entire system.

AdaptiveZ organization do research in achieving of adaptive upgrade procedures for adding new disks to storage systems in order to satisfy the capacity and performance demands of current applications. The upgrade procedures include deterministic data placement methods, reorganization algorithms, mechanisms focused on reducing the overhead suffered during the upgrade and strategies for taking advantage of disk heterogeneity.

This research is applied on the development of Collaborative Work applications focused on current organizations needs. Those APIs are on-line available on this site.
