Abstract—A Federated Array of Bricks (FAB) is a logical disk system that provides the reliability and performance of enterprise-class disk arrays, at a fraction of the cost and w...
We evaluate the reliability of storage system schemes consisting of an equal numbers of data disks and parity disks where each parity disk contains the exclusive or (XOR) of two o...
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a Federated Array of Bricks (FAB), a distributed disk array that provides the reliability of traditional enterpr...
