PCIe-based Flash is commonly deployed to provide datacenter applications with high IO
rates. However, its capacity and bandwidth are often underutilized as it is difficult to design …

Benchmarking is critical when evaluating performance, but is especially difficult for file and
storage systems. Complex interactions between I/O devices, caches, kernel daemons, and …

Mobile Edge Cloud (MEC) is paving the way for 5G networks with respect to latency and
computation offloading. To support user mobility, a MEC application should be migrated …

Storage networking is becoming increasingly important, especially with the emergence of
SAN over IP technologies. It plays an important role in resource consolidation and …

Protecting sensitive files from a compromised system helps administrators to thwart many
attacks, discover intrusion trails, and fast restore the system to a safe state. However, most …

In this paper we present two novel techniques for improving the performance of the Internet
Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) protocol, which is the basis for IP-based …

Network based storage systems have traditionally been dominated by Network Attached
Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN). Cloud based storage systems, including …

Rollback is an effective technique to resume the system execution from a recorded
intermediate state upon failures, without having to restart the entire system. However, in …

Network Attached Storage (NAS) has been gaining general acceptance, because it can be
managed easily and files shared among many clients, which run different operating systems …

While snapshots have been commonly used in data storages for backup and data
protections, little is known in the open literature how such snapshots impact application …
