We present the Block Storage Multi-Protocol Converter (BSMC) software architecture, which is able to translate and manage SCSI commands carried by different SCSI transport protoco...
Caching techniques have been used to improve the performance gap of storage hierarchies in computing systems. In data intensive applications that access large data files over wid...
When data resides on tertiary storage, clustering is the key to achieving high retrieval performance. However, a straightforward approach to clustering massive amounts of data on ...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) views the area of Archive Management, as...

Disk drives are now available with capacities on the order of hundreds of gigabytes. What has not become available is an easy way to manage storage. With installed machines locate...
The iSCSI protocol enables accessing SCSI I/O devices over an IP network. TCP is used as a transport for SCSI I/O commands. We describe the design considerations and decisions in ...
In this paper, we present a parallel transmission architecture for SAN. By using two schedulers on the destination and source addresses of packets, the load of multiple data flows...
Network attached storage systems must provide highly available access to data while maintaining high performance, easy management, and maximum scalability. In this paper, we descr...
