Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et des techniques destinés à la gestion de paires de valeurs clés au moyen d'une architecture qui ne restreint pas ses utilisateurs à une plateforme spécifique ou à un sous-système de stockage quelconque. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le répertoire est portable en ce que l'architecture n'a pas besoin d'être changée en fonction de l'environnement et de la plateforme dans lesquels il est utilisé. La seule portion de l'architecture qui reste spécifique de la plateforme se rapporte aux utilitaires au niveau d'une couche d'abstraction de stockage du répertoire. Les utilitaires présentent la même interface d'abstraction de stockage aux autres couches du répertoire, mais sont conçus afin d'interagir avec différentes plateformes et différents sous-systèmes de stockage. Il s'ensuit que, en réponse à sa portabilité d'une plateforme à une autre, le répertoire change simplement l'utilitaire afin d'appeler les opérations de stockage persistant.
