Recently, a flash memory has become a major database storage in building portable information devices because of its non-volatile, shock-resistant, power-economic nature, and fast...
A flexible model for estimating reliability of RAID storage systems is presented. This model corrects errors associated with the common assumption that system times to failure fol...
Redundancy is the basic technique to provide reliability in storage systems consisting of multiple components. A redundancy scheme defines how the redundant data are produced and...
It is now common to encounter communities engaged in the collaborative analysis and transformation of large quantities of data over extended time periods. We argue that these comm...
Active storage clouds are an attractive platform for executing large data intensive workloads found in many fields of science. However, active storage presents new system managem...
