Motivated by a problem that arises in the study of mirrored storage systems, we describe, for any fixed , > 0 and any integer d 2, explicit or randomized constructions of d-r...
As distributed storage systems grow, the response time between detection and repair of the error becomes significant. Systems built on shared servers have additional complexity be...

Recent excitement in the database community surrounding new applications--analytic, scientific, graph, geospatial, etc.--has led to an explosion in research on database storage sy...
— This paper introduces a new benchmark tool, SPEK (Storage Performance Evaluation Kernel module), for evaluating the performance of block-level storage systems in the presence o...
Energy-efficiency is a key requirement in data centers today. Storage systems constitute a significant fraction of the energy consumed in a data center and therefore enterprise st...

Obtaining representative and concise I/O workloads for the purpose of projecting the performance of storage systems remains a challenge due to the complex nature of I/O behaviors....
The capacity of flash-memory storage systems grows at a speed similar to many other storage systems. In order to properly manage the product cost, vendors face serious challenges ...
Designing storage systems to provide business continuity in the face of failures requires the use of various data protection techniques, such as backup, remote mirroring, point-in-...
