ABSTRACT
The storage industry has seen incredible growth in data storage needs by both consumers and enterprises. Long-term technology trends mean that the data deluge will continue well into the future. These trends include the big-data trend (driven by data mining analytics, high-bandwidth needs, and large content repositories), server virtualization, cloud storage, and Flash. We will cover how Flash and storage class memories (SCM) interact with some of these major trends from a performance perspective.

RAPID-Cache-A Reliable and Inexpensive Write Cache for High Performance Storage Systems
Modern high performance disk systems make extensive use of nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) write caches. A single-copy NVRAM cache creates a single point of failure while a dual-copy NVRAM cache is very expensive because of the high cost of NVRAM. This paper ...
HPDA: A hybrid parity-based disk array for enhanced performance and reliability
Flash-based Solid State Drive (SSD) has been productively shipped and deployed in large scale storage systems. However, a single flash-based SSD cannot satisfy the capacity, performance and reliability requirements of the modern storage systems that ...
