Storage Systems - Alexander Thomasian - książka wyd. 2022

Opis

Published by Morgan Kaufmann/Elsevier in October 2021, the book spans over 700 pages and is aimed at advanced students, researchers, and professionals in computer science and engineering who want to understand the principles behind data storage systems.

Thomasian begins by tracing the origins of storage system design, particularly the influential 1988 proposal of Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive/Independent Disks (RAID), which revolutionized data storage by replacing large mainframe disks with arrays of commodity drives. From this foundation, the book examines how data striping, replication, and erasure coding enhance performance and reliability, ensuring that systems can tolerate multiple disk failures while maintaining efficiency
