Abstract
We review activities at universities and industrial research centers in the storage area, but also briefly mention topics such as processor design, operating systems, databases, and performance analysis. Our starting point is the Berkeley RAID proposal and the associated taxonomy two decades ago. Important research groups are listed and key researchers are identified. We pay special attention to faculty/student relationships, listing PhD theses and articles related to storage. We also describe innovative storage products and the companies behind them. This paper complements author's "Publications in Storage and Systems", ACM CAN, Sept. 2009.
