Abstract

Particularly in scientific community the size of digital data to be stored is ramping up. For those application characterized by very dynamic workloads is difficult to estimate the real size of storage to be allocated and avoid over-provisioning, also in extremely elastic environments as cloud computing. DAViS (Dynamic Allocation of Virtual Storage) is a prototype of a system for dynamically providing virtual block storage to Virtual Machines (VMs), optimizing the physical resources utilization, through dynamic and autonomous resizing of the storage.
