Data placement schemes in replicated mirrored disk systems

In the present paper, we study the most frequent data placement schemes, i.e., the organ-pipe and camel arrangements, in a mirrored disk system which supports cylinder replication at appropriate locations across the disk surface. Five schemes are proposed to identify the appropriate replica positions for the most frequently accessed cylinders. Three schemes, which are called Left, Right and Symmetric Replication Techniques, are based on an analytical approach. More speci
