A pass-through server such as an NFS server backed by an iSCSI[1] storage server only passes data between the storage server and NFS clients. Ideally it should require at most one...
Mariner is an iSCSI-based storage system that is de signed to provide comprehensive data protection on com modity ATA disk and Gigabit Ethernet technologies while offering the...
We propose a companion solution to iSCSI that is more suited for virtualization of local computer bus architectures, such as PCI/PCI-X and PCI Express. We explore the architecture ...
We develop an adaptive load distribution protocol for logical volume I/O workload in clustered storage systems. It exploits data redundancy among decentralized storage servers to ...
Parallel NFS (pNFS) is touted as an emergent standard protocol for parallel I/O access in various storage environments. Several pNFS prototypes have been implemented for initial v...
