Prototyping Innovative Data Storage

Storage Area Networks

• Department of Engineering Science Project
  This project was an outcome of a storage systems design project. Once the design phase was completed, this project attempted to implement the storage arean network.

Distributed Data Storage

• System Configuration

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.

• Ceph Configuration
• Ceph Benchmark

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.

• XtreemFS Configuration
• 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.
