Abstract
Storage systems and coding theory are two very different but highly interdependent engineering disciplines. The development of storage systems has impacted research in coding theory, and coding-theoretic contributions changed the way storage systems work. The presentation aims to give a short summary of the different problems solved by coding theory at the service of storage systems.
