RSS file disksDeterministic Load Balancing and Dictionaries in the Parallel Disk Model
White Paper The main results show that if the number of disks is moderately large (at least logarithmic in the size of the universe from which keys come), performance similar to the expected performance of randomized dictionaries can be achieved. [10 Jul 2008]
Block-Level Security for Network-Attached Disks
White Paper This paper proposes a practical and efficient method for adding security to Network-Attached Disks (NADs). Thus, existing NAD file systems and storage-management software could incorporate the scheme very easily. [03 Jul 2008]
Memory Cards Support for ASEDrive III Smart Card Readers
White Paper In their functionality, memory cards are like floppy disks, with no security or file management capabilities. They have no processing or file management capabilities, just simple data storage. Memory cards use a synchronous communication protocol. [03 Jul 2008]
Linux File Systems
White Paper The file system is the way the operating system organizes, manages, and maintains the file hierarchy into mass-storage devices, normally hard disks. Every modern operating system supports several disparate file systems. [03 Jul 2008]
Distributed File System: A Logical View of Physical Storage
White Paper File systems provide uniform named access to collections of sectors on disks while Dfs provides a uniform naming convention and mapping for collections of servers, shares, and files. Microsoft Distributed File System (Dfs) for Windows NT Server is... [03 Jul 2008]
Hard-disk Recording and Editing of Digital Audio
White Paper These include different techniques for applying amplitude envelopes, various disk scheduling algorithms, an analysis technique for disk scheduling algorithms, RAM buffering techniques and constraints, and the subject of sound file systems as... [03 Jul 2008]
Novell Storage Services (NSS)
White Paper Customers wanted to control higher total disk capacities and larger single files while mounting the file system and making disks available more quickly than ever before. Today's operating systems must perform many tasks while maintaining excellent... [03 Jul 2008]
Multiple Volumes and Multiple RAID Groups on NetApp Filers
White Paper The increasing number of disks which may be attached to a single filer also raises concerns about having a single parity disk, despite improvements in disk reliability, since doubling the number of disks roughly quadruples the probability of the... [03 Jul 2008]
File Archival Solution With TSM Archiving Client and IBM System Storage DR550
White Paper When file data is not archived it is usually held on local hard disks or in a Storage Area Network. This paper presents a practical solution for file archiving from file systems using the TSM Archive Client in accordance with IBM System Storage DR550. [30 Apr 2008]
Prism: Lightweight Filesystem Virtualization Via Selective Cloning
White Paper Unlike copying in standard file systems or cloning operations on virtual disks, the Prism filesystem supports high-level operations to create fast clones of any part of a filesystem. This paper describes the design of Prism, a file server that... [01 Mar 2008]
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 With the HP Enterprise Virtual Array and ProLiant Storage Server iSCSI Feature Pack Gateway Edition
White Paper The role of the ProLiant Storage Server is to access disks on the EVA storage array over Fibre Channel adapters and use iSCSI to define and present host access over Gigabit network interface cards. The iSCSI Feature Pack enables placement of... [20 Feb 2008]
Coordination Between Parallel TCP Streams on Long Fat Pipe Network
White Paper This paper shows the observation, implementation of interface for sharing information between streams and external scheduler, preliminary experiments to compare algorithms, then finally, experimental results of file transfer from disks to disks on... [15 Jan 2008]
Optimized Large File Access in Storage Clusters Using Common TCP/IP-Based File Transfer Protocols
White Paper All tests were performed on a scaled setup, including clients, file servers, storage controllers and disks, and the architecture was designed to be fully scalable. This paper takes a close look at the performance of the TCP/IP stack and some common... [27 Dec 2007]
Diskeeper 2007 Multimedia Tour
White Paper Don't let your disks turn into a fragmented mess! The Diskeeper 2007 Multimedia Tour explains how file fragmentation impacts system performance and how you can determine the level of fragmentation that exists within your systems. [20 Dec 2007]
Dynamic Adaptive File Management in a Local Area Network
White Paper In light of advances in processor and networking technology, especially the emergence of network attached disks, the traditional client-server architecture of file systems has become suboptimal for many computation/data intensive applications. [06 Dec 2007]
