Rather than reinventing the wheel, stored.io leverages mature SQL systems to provide the backing stores. Stored.io essentially is a smart, distributed computing wrapper. -Scaling is done by combining hyperspace hashing (see [hyperdex](http://hyperdex.org)) as "projections" and hypercube addressing (see [OLAP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_analytical_processing) and [Connection Machine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CM-2)) to map nodes to regions of the hyperspace. The layering provides a good deal of flexibility to manage skew. Additionally, the hypercube design allows for straight foward replication strategies. +Scaling is done by combining hyperspace hashing (see [hyperdex](http://hyperdex.org)) as "projections" and hypercube addressing (see [OLAP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_analytical_processing) and [Connection Machine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CM-2)) to map nodes and machines to regions of the hyperspace. The layering provides a good deal of flexibility to manage skew. Additionally, the hypercube design allows for straight foward replication strategies. Projections are the foundation of bothing indexing and accessing data. Data may be indexed under multiple projections and accessed via multiple projections. Projections may also be added and referenced dynamically.
