1 Switched system-area networks enable thousands of storage devices to be shared and directly accessed by end hosts, promising databases and filesystems highly scalable, reliable ...
In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
Clustered applications in storage area networks (SANs), widely adopted in enterprise datacenters, have traditionally relied on distributed locking protocols to coordinate concurre...
This paper develops and evaluates new share-based scheduling algorithms for differentiated service quality in network services, such as network storage servers. This form of resou...
