Abstract--Today's storage systems place an imperative demand on energy efficiency. A storage system often places single-rotationrate disks into standby mode by stopping them f...
This paper presents the RAM Enhanced Disk Cache Project, REDCAP, a new cache of disk blocks which reduces the read I/O time by using a small portion of the main memory. The essent...
Securing data is more important than ever, yet cryptographic file systems still have not received wide use. One barrier to the adoption of cryptographic file systems is that the...
With the emerging of 10 Gbps Ethernet, modern storage networks allow the hosts to access remote cache nearly as quickly as they can access from their local storages. Aiming at imp...
