Existing storage stacks are top-heavy and expect little from block storage. As a result, new high-level storage ions – and new designs for existing abstractions – are difficu...
As file systems reach the petabytes scale, users and administrators are increasingly interested in acquiring highlevel analytical information for file management and analysis. T...

Elasticity of cloud computing environments provides an economic incentive for automatic resource allocation of stateful systems running in the cloud. However, these systems have t...
Multi-tier systems that combine SSDs with SAS/FC and/or SATA disks mitigate the capital cost burden of SSDs, while benefiting from their superior I/O performance per unit cost an...

Previous approaches to RAID scaling either require a very large amount of data to be migrated, or cannot tolerate multiple disk additions without resulting in disk imbalance. In t...
Benchmarking file and storage systems on large filesystem images is important, but difficult and often infeasible. Typically, running benchmarks on such large disk setups is a ...

We present Anticipatory Memory Allocation (AMA), a new method to build kernel code that is robust to memoryallocation failures. AMA avoids the usual difficulties in handling allo...
Shared storage underlies most enterprise VM deployments because it is an established technology that administrators are familiar with and because it good job of protecting data. H...
