Storix is Jtrix.org's reference implementation of a storage API. It uses a two tier client/server model, with data being stored on redundant servers and accessed through caching or non-caching client proxies.
Storix offers warrant based access control to allow operators to give restricted access to defined parts of the data hierarchy.
Storix supports checkpointing, which can be used in turn by applications which need to checkpoint.
Storix both uses and implements the low level Jtrix storage API, and is written to the Hosting APIs. It can be run under any Hosting Service, and can be optimised by Hosting Services which support optimisation of low level storage.
It implements this API so that it can be used via the storage trampoline mechanism by application code which is written to use the normal language mechanisms for disk I/O.
