Enterprise storage systems that require high data reliability are applying RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) systems to recover from data loss and failure. In particular, RAID 5 ensures space efficiency and reliability by distributing parity across multiple storage devices. However, when storage devices have different capacities, RAID is built based on the smallest capacity storage device, resulting in wasted storage space. Therefore, research is needed to solve this resource management problem. In this paper, we propose a method for RAID grouping of each independent NAND flash memory block in a RAID consisting of SSD (Solid State Disk) with external SSDs as well as internal SSDs. This method is divided into a policy for delivering block information inside SSDs to the RAID system and a policy for RAID grouping of physical addresses delivered from the RAID system. This method allows us to maintain a RAID that does not waste resources when SSDs of different capacities are grouped into RAID5. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments.

This paper describes the establishment result of high speed data receiving and archiving system(HDRAS) using data receiving card(DRC) developped by SaTReC and low cost RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) storage instead of expensive enterprise RAID storage. We used three S-ATA2 type hard disks and performance test program developped by SaTReC to receive and save data at 350Mbps. Finally, we verified that the HDRAS using low cost RAID storage has a capacity to process received data at 79MB/s(632Mbps).

RAID were proposed to stored double data or used to parity logging methode for error recovery. We describe a technique for automating the execution of redundant disk array operation, including recovery from errors, independent of array architecture. RAID5 provide highly reliable cost effective secondary storage with high performance for read access and large write accessed. It discusses the two architectural techniques used in disk arrays, striping across multiple disks to improve performance and redundancy to improve reliability. In this paper we compare with performance and reliability in RAID5 real/write to file and stripe size. than suggest to algorithm.

멀티미디어와 인터넷의 대중화가 야기한 급격한 데이터의 증가는 테라(Tera)바이트 이상의 대용량 저장공간과 대용량 정보의 효율적인 공유를 지원하는 스토리지 시스템을 요구하고 있으며 이를 위하여 SAN 기반의 스토리지 클러스터링 시스템들이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 환경에서 하드웨어 또는 소프트웨어 RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks)는 대용량 정보의 고성능의 입출력과 신뢰성을 위해서 필수적이 되었다. 범용적인 RAID로는 RAE-0, RAID-1, RAID-5가 주로 사용되고 있으며 각각의 레벨은 장단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 RAID-0와 RAID-1이 갖는 문제점들의 보완을 위하여 변형된 RAID 레벨인 RAID-SM을 제안한다. RAID-SM은 기존의 RAID-1이 가지는 데이터의 가용성을 유지하면서 추가적인 비용 없이 RAID-0의 우수한 입출력 성능을 얻기 위한 RAID-1의 변형된 방식이다. RAID-SM의 구현을 위하여 디스크상의 데이터의 배치 및 데이터 맵핑 탕식을 정의하고 RAID-SM에서의 I/O방법을 기술한다. 제안하는 RAID-SM은 멀티미디어나 GIS 데이터와 같은 읽기 연산 집약적인 시스템을 대상으로 하는 안정적인 레이드 방식이며 RAID-SM의 장점 및 성능은 본 논문에서의 실험을 통한 결과로서 제시한다.

Recently, Flash Memory Drives are one of the best media to support portable and desktop computers' storage devices. Their features include non-volatility, low power consumption, and fast access time for read operations, which are sufficient to present flash memories as major database storage components for desktop and server computers. However, we need to improve traditional storage management schemes based on HDD(Hard Disk Drive) and RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) due to the relatively slow or freezing characteristics of write operations of SSDs, as compared to fast read operations. In order to achieve this goal, we propose a new storage management scheme called Hetero-Mirroring based on traditional HDD mirroring scheme. Hetero-Mirroring-based storage management improves RAID-1 operation performance by balancing write-workloads and delaying write operations to avoid SSD freezing.

In enterprise environments, hybrid storage typically utilizes SSDs over disk-based RAID. Typically, SSDs over RAID are used as the data cache. Recently, the LeavO caching scheme was introduced to reduce the parity update overhead of the underlying RAID. In this paper, we combine the data caching and LeavO caching schemes and derive cost models of the combined cache to determine the optimal data and LeavO cache sizes. We also propose the Adaptive Combined Cache that dynamically adjusts the data cache and LeavO cache sizes for evolving workloads. Experimental results show that the performance of the Adaptive Combined Cache is significantly superior to that of the conventional data caching scheme and is comparable with that of the off-line optimal scheme.

The rapid growth of high speed multimedia services demands the large capacity of the server's storage that maintains the multimedia contents. Among the server's devices, the low I/O speed and physical or logical failure of storage device decrease the total performance of system. The continuous increase of multimedia contents require the flexibility of storage capacity. In order to solve the these problems, we propose the uses of software RAID and LVM techniques that provide the performance improvement and reliability of storage device and the flexibility of storage device respectively. In the LINUX 2.4 kernel, we implemented the reliable and flexible storage device and evaluated the performance of it.

In the global IT market, a lot of issues for responding to various environmental regulations emerged. In case of the data centers, it is consuming huge amounts of energy to maintain. So there have been various technical attempts as Consolidation, Virtualization, Optimization to efficiently manage energy and data storage to fix the problems. In this paper, we propose a new RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) mechanism which is differing the intensity of power consumption and works to provide data protection and disaster recovery(backup, mirroring etc.) to stratify multiple volumes. G-RAID minimize the power consumption and the lower of I/O performance by selecting the volume depending on the frequency of data access while classifying the power consumption between volumes in storage system. Also, it is possible that a filesystem and block map information of G-RAID is processed by basic unit which is group located in a row for the blocks to work efficiently and can minimize the performance degradation of block mapping load by the access frequency in each groups. As a result, we obtained to elevate a little bit of response time caused by block relocation work, but showed the decrease of power consumption by 38%.
