Abstract

After analyzing evaluation methods of the data storage system reliability, we found there is not a set of generally accepted evaluation criteria for distributed storage system reliability. Based on reliability theory and probability method, a model is provided in this paper to evaluate the reliability of a given distributed system. This model evaluates the data reliability of the system by calculating successfully reading data probability and successfully writing data probability of the system. And then it provide a set of acceptable evaluation criteria for distributed storage system reliability.
