Large scale storage system

A method of operating a computer node configured to being connected to an infrastructure layer of a distributed storage system, said infrastructure layer including interconnected computer nodes, at least one of said interconnected computer nodes comprising one or more storage-related resources, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one Service Level Specification (SLS) comprising user-defined storage requirements referring to at least one logical storage entity, and storage-related resources parameters data relating to one or more storage-related resources connected to said interconnected computer nodes;
• calculating a configuration for the distributed storage system based, at least, on said at least one SLS and said storage-related resources parameters data;
• automatically allocating at least part of one of said storage-related resources according to the calculated configuration;
• receiving dynamic behavior parameters data relating to dynamic behavior of the distributed storage system;
• upon at least one SLS being breached, calculating a reconfiguration for the distributed storage system, based, at least, on said at least one SLS, said storage-related resources parameters data and said dynamic behavior parameters data;
• and
• automatically allocating at least part of one of said storage-related resources according to the calculated reconfiguration.

A distributed storage system comprising:

• an infrastructure layer including interconnected computer nodes, wherein:
• each one of said interconnected computer nodes comprising at least one processing resource configured to execute a Unified Distributed Storage Platform (UDSP) agent, wherein said UDSP agent is configured to:
• receive at least one Service Level Specification (SLS) comprising user-defined storage requirements referring to at least one logical storage entity, and storage-related resources parameters data relating to one or more storage-related resources connected to said interconnected computer nodes;
• calculate a configuration for the distributed storage system based, at least, on said at least one SLS and said storage-related resources parameters data;
• automatically allocate at least part of one of said storage-related resources according to the calculated configuration;
• receive dynamic behavior parameters data relating to dynamic behavior of the distributed storage system;
• upon at least one SLS being breached, calculate a reconfiguration for the distributed storage system, based, at least, on said at least one SLS, said storage-related resources parameters data and said dynamic behavior parameters data;
• and
• automatically allocate at least part of one of said storage-related resources according to the calculated reconfiguration.
