We propose a new method of ensuring the redundant storage of information on tertiary storage, especially tape storage. Conventional methods for redundant data storage on tape incl...
A European consortium formed by science and industrial partners have started the EuroStore project1 to develop and market a Hierarchical Storage Management System (HSM) together w...
Recently TRW fielded a prototype system for a government customer. It provides a wide range of capabilities including data collection, hierarchical storage, automated distribution...
Archival storage systems must operate under stringent requirements, providing 100% availability while guaranteeing that data will not be lost. In this paper we explore the multipl...

: Several parameters play an important role in the design of tape subsystems. This paper analyzes some of these parameters and their relationships in determining the capacity and t...
The High Performance Storage System (HPSS) is currently deployed on the open and secure networks at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Users of the Accelerated Strategic Compu...
When the BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center starts in April 1999, it will generate approximately 200TB/year of data at a rate of 10MB/sec for 10 years. A m...
