of huge-scale data analysis and new storage devices such as storage class memories is its example. Looking these phenomena from a storage platform viewpoint, movement of an all-in-one storage platform including from storage devices to analytical middleware
has been getting popularity. This topic will cover our research activity about new storage platform based on our resource pool technology by which a system can be flexibly configured according to user applications. Distributed object storage technology that
efficiently accumulates and utilizes huge-scale data will also be covered.</span></font><font size="1" color="#333333" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#333333"></span></font></p>
