Space efficiency and data reliability are two primary concerns for modern storage systems. Chunk-based deduplication, which breaks up data objects into single-instance chunks that...
Storage accounts for a significant amount of a data center's ever increasing power budget. As a consequence, energy consumption has joined performance and reliability as a do...

In this paper, we describe the design of a highlyavailable Grid data storage system. Increased availability is ensured by data redundancy and file striping. Redundant data is com...
This paper describes a decentralized consistency protocol for survivable storage that exploits local data versioning within each storage-node. Such versioning enables the protocol...

In large storage systems, it is crucial to protect data from loss due to failures. Erasure codes lay the foundation of this protection, enabling systems to reconstruct lost data w...
