Definition
In this article we address most important issues in the design of Large-Scale Object-Based Multimedia Storage Systems (LOMSS).
Introduction
Objects in storage systems are variable-size data-storage containers that contain the data and adequate additional information to allow the data to be autonomous and self-managing. Compared with the traditional storage systems that rely on “block” or “file” interface, object-based storage systems can provide a high-level object abstraction interface to the applications and offer great advantage by off-loading low-level disk optimization functions into disk drivers. Normally, an object-based storage system is composed of three basic components: Client, Metadata Sever (MDS), and Object Storage Device (OSD), which are connected via high-speed intranet/Internet as shown in Fig. 1. An excellent survey of object storage systems can be found in [1].
