This paper presents a general model for estimating access times of serpentine tape drives. The model is used to schedule I/O requests in order to minimize the total access time. W...
A growing number of applications require high capacity, high throughput tertiary storage systems 1 2 . We are investigating how data striping ideas apply to arrays of magnetic tap...
Benchmark tests have been designed and conducted for the purpose of evaluating the use of automated tape libraries in on-line digital check image retrieval applications. This type...
Over the last decade, processors have made enormous gains in speed. But increase in the speed of the secondary and tertiary storage devices could not cope with these gains. The re...

With an ever increasing amount of data to store, hierarchical storage management (HSM) systems must still use tape for tertiary storage. A disk cache is used to reduce the access ...
