Claims15
A computer apparatus comprising:
- a processor to:
- receive a request for execution of an operation associated with data;
- determine if the operation has attained a particular state, the particular state representing a number of storage resources aanowledging completion of the operation therein, the particular state being adjustable so as to adjust the number of acknowledging storage resources required to attain the particular state;
- and
- if the operation has attained the particular state, acknowledge completion of the operation in response to the request.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein which if executed cause a processor to:
- receive a request for execution of an operation associated with data;
- determine if the operation has attained a particular state, the particular state representing a number of storage resources acknowledging completion of the operation therein, the particular state being adjustable so as to adjust the number of acknowledging storage resources required to attain the particular state;
- and
- if the operation has attained the particular state, acknowledge completion of the operation in response to the request.

A method comprising:
- receiving a request from an application for execution of a write operation;
- initiating execution of the write operation in a plurality of storage resources:
- determining if the write operation has attained a particular state, the particular state representing a number of storage resources that acknowledged completion of the write operation therein, the particular state being adjustable so as to adjust the number of acknowledging storage resources required to attain the particular state;
- if the write operation has attained the particular state, transmitting an acknowledgment confirming completion of the write operation so as to allow the application to proceed to subsequent tasks;
- and
- initiating execution of the write operation in additional storage resources different than the plurality of storage resources.
