Huygens File Service and Storage Architecture

The Huygens file server is a high-performance file server which is able to deliver multi-media data in a timely manner while also providing clients with ordinary "Unix" like file I/O. The file server integrates client machines, file servers and tertiary storage servers in the same storage architecture. The client''s view on the storage system is a very large file system, while in practice it is built out of a hierarchy of storage devices with a single site semantics protocol.
