Methodology for Usage of Emerging Disk to Ameliorate Hybrid Storage Clouds

Abstract

With the dramatic evolution of various greener disk and memory technologies, helped in rapid establishment of Hybrid storage environment comprising of heterogeneous storage units. In order to provide an efficient and optimised storage solution there exists a necessity of adapting smarter changes in the management stack that enables compact sensing, processing, decision making capability based on the importance of data and disk life span predicted on operational workloads. This paper reviews system architecture for two faces of RAS cloud features namely disaster recovery planning, disk breakage prediction independent of disk technology and host aware data tier based on disk life span.
