—In this paper we present C2Cfs - a decentralized collective caching architecture for distributed filesystems. C2Cfs diverges from the traditional client-server model and advoca...
Despite impressive advances in file system throughput resulting from technologies such as high-bandwidth networks and disk arrays, file system latency has not improved and in many...
The Smoke and Mirrors File System (SMFS) mirrors files at geographically remote datacenter locations with negligible impact on file system performance at the primary site, and min...
