....applications unaware of this aggregation. In Swift, sets of storage servers work concurrently to satisfy the requests made by clients. Several concurrent I O architectures, such as Imprimis ArrayMaster [4] DataVault [5] CFS [6] RADD [7] and RAID [3, 8] are based on this observation. Mainframes [9, 10] and super computers [11] have also exploited this approach. Swift is a client server system made up of independently replaceable components. Clients are connected to sets of storage servers through an interconnection medium. Both the storage servers and the interconnection medium can be upgraded ....
....16 kilobyte blocks varying read to write ratio. 18 5 Related Research The notion of disk striping was formally introduced by Salem and Garcia Molina [2] The technique, however, has been in use for many years in the I O subsystems of super computers [11] and high performance mainframe systems [9]. Disk striping has also been used in some versions of the UNIX operating system as a means of improving swapping performance [2] To our knowledge, Swift is the first to use disk striping in a distributed environment, striping files over multiple servers in a local area network. Examples of some ....
