Small File Efficiency for Healthcare PACS | - A policy mechanism to control containerization, so that it may be optional, allowing customers explicitly to opt for better small-file storage efficiency in exchange for some small-file performance.
- A class of specialized shadow stores to act as containers. These shadow stores differ from existing shadow stores in a few ways in order to isolate fragmentation, to support tiering, and to support future optimizations which will be specific to single-reference stores.
- A method to pack, unpack, and repack data into, out of, and between containers.
|
UI Scalability | - Improved performance and usability for the SMB share and NFS export pages.
