Abstract

This work presents HRaidTools, an on-line suite of tools for simulating Heterogeneous RAID systems, which includes tools such as a RAID-designer, an I/O synthetic workload generator, a friendly simulation launcher and results collector. This suite has been designed to reduce or even eliminate the errors in simulations produced by the humans and the problems arise when using the simulator in different environments. In addition, HRaidTools also includes an Adaptive Collaborative Work architecture based on profiles of social networks, which have been designed for handling and sharing simulation contents such as experiments, configurations, workloads, results and graphs while following the common hierarchies in research groups. Finally, this suite includes several heterogeneous data distribution policies and redundancy levels unavailable in current RAID simulators.

Traditional RAID solutions (e.g., Linux MD) balance writes evenly across the array for high I/O parallelism and data reliability. This is built around the assumption that the underlying storage components are homogeneous, both in performance and ...
Taking advantage of heterogeneity in disk arrays

Disk arrays, or RAIDs, have become the solution to increase the capacity and bandwidth of most storage system, but their usage has some limitations because all the disks in the array have to be equal. Nowadays, assuming a homogeneous set of disks to ...
Higher reliability redundant disk arrays: Organization, operation, and coding

Parity is a popular form of data protection in redundant arrays of inexpensive/independent disks (RAID). RAID5 dedicates one out of N disks to parity to mask single disk failures, that is, the contents of a block on a failed disk can be reconstructed by ...
