Virtual Institute for I/O

Goals

Goals of the Virtual Institute for I/O (VI4IO) are

  1. Provide a platform for I/O researchers and enthusiasts for exchanging information
  2. Foster training and international collaboration in the field of high-performance I/O
  3. Track and encourage the deployment of large storage systems by hosting information about high-performance storage systems

The philosophical cornerstones of VI4IO are:

  • Treat every contributor and participant equally1)
  • Allow free participation without any fee inclusive to all
  • Be independent of vendors and research facilities
