This paper describes the motivation, architecture and implementation of iSAN, an “intelligent” storage area network. The main contributions of this work are: (1) how to archite...
Abstract. Designing storage area networks is an NP-hard problem. Previous work has focused on traditional algorithmic techniques to automatically determine fabric requirements, net...

The current generation of le systems are inadequate in facing the new technological challenges of wide area networks and massive storage. xFS is a prototype le system we are devel...
In this paper, we present a parallel transmission architecture for SAN. By using two schedulers on the destination and source addresses of packets, the load of multiple data flows...
A number of new network storage architectures have emerged recently that provide shared, adaptable and high-performance storage systems for dataintensive applications. Three commo...
