A number of recent technological trends have made data intensive applications such as continuous media (audio and video) servers a reality. These servers store and retrieve a larg...
Recently, high-energy consumption has become a serious concern for both storage servers and data centers. Recent research studies have utilized the short transition times of multis...
The increasing performance and decreasing cost of processors and memory are causing system intelligence to move into peripherals from the CPU. Storage system designers are using t...
