Disk subsystems span the range of configuration complexity from single disk drives to large installations of disk arrays. They can be directly attached to individual computer syst...
Multi-dimensional storage virtualization (MDSV) allows multiple virtual disks, each with a distinct combination of capacity, latency and bandwidth requirements, to be multiplexed ...
This paper presents two algorithms for maintaining Btree index consistency in a DBMS which does not use write-ahead logging (WAL). One algorithm is similar to shadow paging, but i...
A system for the acquisition, storage, indexing, and retrieval of map images is presented. The input to this system are raster images of separate map layers and map composites. A ...
This paper envisions a distributed network storage service with Quality-ofService (QoS) guarantees, and describes its architecture and key mechanisms. When fully realized, this se...
