Abstract

Reliability is one of the key performance metrics in the design of storage area network extensions as it determines accessibility to remotely located data sites. SANs can be extended over distances spanning from hundreds to thousands of kilometers with optical or IP-based transport networks. The network equipment used depends on the storage protocol used for the extension solution. The present article provides analytical models developed for the calculation of long-term average downtimes, service failure rates, and service availability that can be achieved as a function of hardware/software failures, software upgrades, link failures, failure recovery times, and layer 3 protocol convergence times.

Reliability and availability of a wide area network-based education system
ISSRE '96: Proceedings of the The Seventh International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering

An important class of quality of service (QoS)-dependent network-based applications are computer-based education systems. A successful network-based education (NBE) system needs to provide appropriate QoS at the user level. This includes adequate end-to-...
Improving storage system availability with D-GRAID

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of D-GRAID, a gracefully degrading and quickly recovering RAID storage array. D-GRAID ensures that most files within the file system remain available even when an unexpectedly high number of faults ...
