Ideally, it will allow to execute application-defined data ... within the physical data storage. Thus Active Storage seeks to minimize expensive data movement, improving performance, scalability, and resource efficiency. The effective use of Active Storage mandates new architectures, algorithms, interfaces, and development toolchains.}, language = {en} }
