<p>
Much of the work that the Utah SCS lab pursues focuses on the intersection of
low-latency data center/cloud storage (&mu;s-scale) at large scale (tens of
thousands of shared storage tenants). The lab's work spans data migration and
load balancing, storage programmability and data models, shared resource
provisioning, and use of low-latency storage within application
domains. We frequently and closely collaborate with the Flux research group at
Utah (<a href="https://www.flux.utah.edu/profile/ricci">Rob Ricci</a>,
<a href="https://www.flux.utah.edu/profile/kobus">Kobus Van der Merwe</a>)
and Microsoft Research.
