SUMMARY
The goal of the VISION project is to advance the competitiveness of the EU economy and facilitate the convergence of ICT, media and telecommunications through developing a radically improved ICT infrastructure for reliable and effective delivery of data-intensive storage services.
SICS, the Swedish ICT research institute, will lead the work on computational storage in VISION. They will provide a solution for bringing computing to storage, enabling secure execution of computational tasks in close proximity to the relevant data, applicable both to user-driven computational tasks as well as autonomous data derivation and transformation.

SOLUTIONS
- Supporting the setup and deployment of data and storage services on demand, at competitive costs, across disparate administrative domains, providing Quality of Service and security guarantees
- Radically extending earlier generations of service infrastructures
- Developing a cloud-based infrastructure built on open standards and new technologies, capable of the optimised delivery of converged data-intensive services
- Using objects with metadata to support effective access and management, enabling unprecedented scalability and simplification of storage services
- Enabling comprehensive data migration and interoperability across remote locations, overcoming current limitations
- Introducing a technology for specifying and executing computations close to storage, reducing overheads
- Facilitating access to data by content and its relationships, relieving applications and users from the need to be aware of the underlying storage implementation
