IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server: a designer's
view.
In the 1960s and 1970s, control units served as gateways that
provided attachment of various input and output devices to a relatively
small number of host channels. This technology was used . . .
Technical note--the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server:
testing for general availability and beyond.
Testing the IBM TotalStorage * Enterprise Storage Server *
(ESS)--both the hardware and the supporting software--is a daunting
task. ESS supports a large number of programmable . . .
Characteristics of I/O traffic in personal computer and server
workloads.
Processor performance has been increasing at the rate of 60 percent
per year (1) while disk access time, being limited by mechanical delays,
has been improving by less than 10 percent per year. (2) . . .
Technological impact of magnetic hard disk drives on storage
systems.
Magnetic hard disk drives are used as the primary storage device
for a wide range of applications, including desktop, mobile, and server
systems. In 2002, nearly 200 million disk drives were . . .
Beyond backup toward storage management.
The proliferation of distributed computing and Internet usage
together with continually falling storage prices, greater disk
capacities, and tremendous data growth, challenge storage . . .
Two decades of policy-based storage management for the IBM
mainframe computer.
The Internet, e-business, business-to-business interactions, life
sciences applications, and other new and extended uses of computing are
creating an explosive demand for storage capacity. Using . . .
z/OS support for the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage
Server.
The IBM TotalStorage * Enterprise Storage Server * (ESS) was
introduced in 1999. (1) Although ESS can be used with other operating
systems, we focus here on its new capabilities that are supported . . .
Advanced functions for storage subsystems: supporting continuous
availability.
Storage subsystems (or storage control units) were once expected
only to store and retrieve randomly accessible data. That day, however,
is long gone, and today storage subsystems--in particular . . .
IBM Storage Tank--a heterogeneous scalable SAN file
system.
IBM Storage Tank * (ST) is a multiplatform, scalable file system
and storage management solution that works with storage area networks
(SANs). By means of SANs, thousands of computers can connect . . .
The software architecture of a SAN storage control
system.
Storage controllers have traditionally enabled mainframe computers
to access disk drives and other storage devices. (1) To support
expensive enterprise-level mainframes built for high performance . . .
Internet Protocol storage area networks.
In the past, storage models assumed the presence of block storage
attached to every host server. Block storage can be defined as raw
storage volumes composed of and addressed in fixed-size extents . . .
The evolution of storage systems.
The first data storage device was introduced by IBM in 1956. Since
then there has been remarkable progress in hard disk drive (HDD)
technology, and this has provided the fertile ground on which the . . .
Preface.
The history of storage systems from their creation 50 years ago to
the present abounds with dramatic technological advances, changes in
user requirements, and emerging engineering challenges. In . . .
