RAID Organizations for Improved Reliability and Performance: A Not Entirely Unbiased Tutorial (1st revision)
Alexander Thomasian
RAID proposal advocated replacing large disks with arrays of PC disks, but as the capacity of small disks increased 100-fold in 1990s the production of large disks was discontinued…
RAID Organizations for Improved Reliability and Performance: A Not Entirely Unbiased Tutorial
Alexander Thomasian
This is a followup to the 1994 tutorial by Berkeley RAID researchers whose 1988 RAID paper foresaw a revolutionary change in storage industry based on advances in magnetic disk tec…
Optimizing Apportionment of Redundancies in Hierarchical RAID
Alexander Thomasian
Large disk arrays are organized into storage nodes -- SNs or bricks with their own cashed RAID controller for multiple disks. Erasure coding at SN level is attained via parity or R…
Mirrored and Hybrid Disk Arrays: Organization, Scheduling, Reliability, and Performance
Alexander Thomasian
Basic mirroring (BM) classified as RAID level 1 replicates data on two disks, thus doubling disk access bandwidth for read requests. RAID1/0 is an array of BM pairs with balanced l…
Data Allocation in a Heterogeneous Disk Array - HDA with Multiple RAID Levels for Database Applications
Alexander Thomasian, Jun Xu
We consider the allocation of Virtual Arrays (VAs) in a Heterogeneous Disk Array (HDA). Each VA holds groups of related objects and datasets such as files, relational tables, which…
