A new RAID-x (redundant array of inexpensive disks at level x) architecture is presented for distributed I/O processing on a serverless cluster of computers. The RAID-x architectu...
Shared machines in opportunistic grids typically have large quantities of unused disk space. These resources could be used to store application and checkpointing data when the mac...
In this paper, we propose SiLo, a novel energy efficient shifted logging storage architecture, for write-oriented workloads. By organizing free storage space of redundant mirrored...
The reliability of a large-scale storage system is influenced by a complex set of inter-dependent factors. This paper presents a comprehensive and extensible analytical framework ...
