Sinopsis

Storage Systems: Organization, Performance, Coding, Reliability and Their Data Processing covers the coding, reliability and performance of popular RAID organizations: RAID1 mirrored disks, RAID5/6/7 1/2/3-disk failure tolerant - 1/2/3DFT arrays. Readers will learn about the storage of files, SQL and NoSQL databases on disk and SSD to achieve higher efficiency. As data compression, deduplication and encryption techniques for storage systems have led to new technologies, startups and techniques to save power in storage and server systems, the book discusses Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes (FAWN) at CMU, RAMCloud at Stanford, and key-value flash Lightstore at MIT, along with several storage proposals.

Finally, storage technologies from punched cards up to ash memories and beyond are discussed, along with the data placement and the scheduling of magnetic disks.

  • Provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the architecture and operation of computer storage systems
  • Includes descriptions of various RAID levels, their coding, organization, performance and reliability
  • Covers techniques for efficient and secure data storage through data compression, deduplication and encryption
  • Presents readers with an in-depth understanding of the storage of files and SQL and NoSQL databases

Acerca del autor

Dr. Alexander Thomasian is the founder and CEO of Thomasian Associates consulting, in Pleasantville, NY, USA. As a former IBM Systems Engineer, he did a PhD in Computer Science at UCLA. Dr. Thomasian has held teaching and research positions at Case Western Reserve U., U. Southern California, Burroughs Corp., IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, and New Jersey Institute of Technology. At IBM's Almaden Research Center, he developed the analysis to predict the performance of IBM's RAID5 product under development. His storage research was funded by National Science Foundation Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, and AT&T. He was a visiting scientist of Chinese Academy of Sciences at Shenzhen and a Fulbright Fellow at the American University of Armenia in Yerevan. He is a Life Fellow of IEEE for fundamental contributions to the performance analysis of computer systems. He was an Editor of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, a monograph on database concurrency control, and 150 papers, more recently on storage systems.

De la contraportada

Storage Systems: Organization, Performance, Coding, Reliability and Their Data covers computer storage systems with replication and erasure coding. Noted storage systems pioneer and researcher Alexander Thomasian discusses coding, reliability, and performance of popular RAID organizations: RAID1 mirrored disks, RAID5/6/7 1/2/3-disk failure tolerant - 1/2/3DFT arrays. RAID5 is analyzed in normal, degraded (with one failed disk), and rebuild mode. Clustered RAID organizations are proposals to improve RAID performance in degraded mode. Various rebuild techniques are discussed for the systematic reconstruction of a failed disk on a spare disk. Storage technologies starting with punched cards up to ash memories and beyond are discussed. Data placement and scheduling of magnetic disks is discussed, although they are being replaced with Solid State Disks (SSDs) for high performance applications. Readers will learn about the storage of files, SQL and NoSQL databases on disk and SSD to achieve higher efficiency. Data compression, deduplication, and encryption techniques for storage systems have led to new technologies and startups, as well as techniques to save power in storage and server systems. Finally, three storage prototypes discussed are Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes (FAWN) at CMU, RAMCloud at Stanford, and key-value flash Lightstore at MIT, along with two storage proposals: heterogeneous disk arrays and hierarchical RAID, which are relevant to cloud computing.
