CoStore: A Reliable and Highly Available Storage System Using Clusters

The CoStore cluster architecture has been proposed to construct a reliable and highly available storage system. A prototype CoStore has been implemented and its performance has been measured with the cluster being mirrored in various network environments. The preliminary results demonstrate that there is little impact on performance if the cluster is mirrored in efficient campus network environments with high bandwidth and low latency. As a result the CoStore architecture will considerably reinforce a storage system's preparedness for disaster recovery without sacrificing performance.
