---++ Storage Area Networks
<ul>
<li>[[DESStorageImplement][Department of Engineering Science Project]]<br>
This project was an outcome of a [[StorageDesign][storage systems design]] project. Once the design phase was completed, this project attempted to implement the storage area network.

[[https://ceph.newdream.net][ *Ceph* ]] is a distributed file system designed for reliability, scalability, and performance. The storage system consists of some (potentially large) number of storage servers (bricks), a smaller set of metadata server daemons, and a few monitor daemons for managing cluster membership and state.

   * [[cephconfig][Ceph Configuration]] 
   * [[cephtest][Ceph Benchmark]] 

*[[https://xtreemfs.org][XTREEMFS]]* is a distributed and replicated file system for the Internet. Distributed: Clients and servers can be distributed world-wide. XtreemFS allows you to mount and access your files via the internet from anywhere.

   * [[xtreemconfig][XtreemFS Configuration]] 
   * [[xtreemtest][XtreemFS Benchmark]]

With both Ceph and !XtreemFS you can easily replicate your files across multiple devices this reducing network consumption and latency and increasing data availability.

---+++ Heterogenous Test System

<ul>
<li>[[HeterogenousStorageBuild][Building a Heterogenous Test System for Distributed Storage]]<br>
This work utilises the [[#InitialExperiments][initial experimentation with distributed files systems]] to build a distributed file system on a storage network with heterogenous nodes.
