UbiqStor: A Remote Storage Service for Mobile Devices

In Ubiquitous computing environment the mobile devices such as PDAs necessarily connect to remote storage servers. We present an iSCSI caching system that localizes iSCSI target to overcome the shortcomings of iSCSI performance dropping sharply as the latency increases. 1 Motivation Mobile devices such as PDAs are evolving to be incorporated into Ubiquitous computing environment. Due to lightly equipped storage, they lack enough capacity to process application of large data, thus it has been necessitated supplying vast storage capacity from remote machine. For mass storage service, SCSI has been representative protocol in its widespread application. We have built a remote storage system for mobile appliances using iSCSI protocol, which mobile devices can use the storage of a remote server through wireless link but just as their own local storage. It enables mobile appliances to overcome the limitation of storage capacity, as well as the ability to adapt various applications of wired en...
