Advanced Disk Storage For Distributed Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses about advanced disk storage necessary for distributed systems. It briefly discusses the disk storage research and the various storage systems developed. Among them the Petal, distributed virtual disks developed at the systems research center, Digital Equipment Corporation and PersonalRaid, mobile storage for distributed and disconnected computers developed at Princeton University and supported in part by IBM is reviewed in detail. The paper goes ahead and describes some of the research carried out and storage systems developed by commercial organizations like IBM, Compaq and Hewlett Packard. Then we also compare the Petal and the Scotch systems as a discussion.

متن کاملAutonomous Disks for Advanced Database Applications
The scalability and reliability of secondary storage systems are their most significant aspects for advanced database applications. Research on high-function disks has recently attracted a great deal of attention because technological progress now allows disk-resident data processing. This capability is not only useful for executing application programs on the disk, but is also suited for contr...
متن کاملA Comparison of Two Distributed Disk Systems
As the storage needs of computer applications and users become more sophisticated and increase beyond what can easily be satisfied by a few disk array controllers, aggregating and managing the many disparate components of the storage system become severe problems. Distributed disk systems, which manage collections of disks shared by or partitioned across multiple nodes, may offer a solution to ...

Modern magnetic disks support advanced mechanisms such as read ahead and caching to optimize disk access performance However most of the proposed disk models in the literature of multimedia storage systems are too simpli ed to include the advanced feature that result in inaccurate performance prediction In this paper we propose an accurate detailed SCSI disk model customized for multimedia stor...
متن کاملHybrid Regenerating Codes for Distributed Storage Systems
Distributed storage systems are mainly justified due to their ability to store data reliably over some unreliable nodes such that the system can have long term durability. Recently, regenerating codes are proposed to make a balance between the repair bandwidth and the storage capacity per node. This is achieved through using the notion of network coding approach. In this paper, a new variation ...
