Replication in Distributed File Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This term paper focuses on replication in distributed file systems and replicating Web documents. Replication is a key strategy for improving reliability, fault tolerance and availability in distributed systems. This paper gives a brief introduction to replication and the basic principles used for replication in DFS. The next section discusses the enormous load on the web servers and inability of the caching techniques lead to the demand for replicating web documents for a better, speedy, and efficient way of delivering information. This has lead to a lot of research in the areas of replication in web documents. This paper introduces the latest research conducted by Guillaume Pierre and others and introduces Globule, a platform which automates all aspects of replication.

متن کاملImproving Data Grids Performance by Using Modified Dynamic Hierarchical Replication Strategy
Abstract: A Data Grid connects a collection of geographically distributed computational and storage resources that enables users to share data and other resources. Data replication, a technique much discussed by Data Grid researchers in recent years creates multiple copies of file and places them in various locations to shorten file access times. In this paper, a dynamic data replication strate...
متن کاملExperience of Adaptive Replication in Distributed File Systems
Replication is a key strategy for improving locality, fault tolerance and availability in distributed systems. The paper focuses on distributed file systems and presents a system to transparently manage file replication through a network of workstations sharing the same distributed file system. The system integrates an adaptive file replication policy that is capable of reacting to changes in t...
