Abstract
Fabric encapsulated resilient storage is hardware-assisted resilient storage in which the reliability capabilities of a storage server are abstracted and managed transparently by a host fabric interface (HFI) to a switch. The switch abstracts the reliability capabilities of a storage server into a level of resilience in a hierarchy of levels of resilience. The resilience levels are accessible by clients as a quantifiable characteristic of the storage server. The resilience levels are used by the switch fabric to filter which storage servers store objects responsive to client requests to store objects at a specified level of resilience.
