Story (A paragraph or two describing what happens)If As an infrastructure engineer, I want Fedora's storage to be shareable in read/write fashion to a multiplicity of servers.  Specifically, Fedora's objectStore, resourceIndex, and datastreamStore could should all be asynchronous friendly, storage could be shared by a multiplicity of servers.  Additional servers can could then be programmed to launch automatically based upon a load threshold, and in reverse, programmed to terminate themselves when there is no load.  Scale up with massive ingests, and scale down when ingest is complete.   Scale up when a digital collection suddenly becomes very popular, and scale down when popularity subsides.
