Abstract Mean Time To Data Loss (MTTDL) has been the standard reliability metric in
storage systems for more than 20 years. MTTDL represents a simple formula that can be …

Scientific applications generate large volumes of data that often needs to be moved between
geographically distributed sites for collaboration or backup which has led to a significant …

End-to-end integrity verification is designed to protect file transfers against silent data
corruption by comparing checksum of files at source and destination end points using …

We introduce flexible end-to-end data integrity for storage systems, which enables each
component along the I/O path (eg, memory, disk) to alter its protection scheme to meet the …

Hierarchical storage architectures are required to meet both, capacity and bandwidth
requirements for future high-end storage architectures. In this paper we present the results of …

This paper presents a performability model for RAID storage systems using Markov
regenerative process to compare different RAID architectures. While homogeneous Markov …

Modern storage systems are employing data deduplication with increasing frequency. Often
the storage systems on which these techniques are deployed contain important data, and …

Although RAID is a well-known technique to protect data against disk errors, it is vulnerable
to silent data corruptions that cannot be detected by disk drives. Existing integrity protection …

As the costs of fuel and maintenance increase and regulations on weight and environmental
impact tighten, there is an increasing push to transition onboard aircraft networks to wireless …

As programs evolve they become harder to maintain as the source code becomes more
difficult to comprehend. One aspect of comprehensibility is related to the programming style …
