We present TRIAD, a new persistent key-value (KV) store based on Log-Structured Merge
(LSM) trees. TRIAD improves LSM KV throughput by reducing the write amplification arising …

Despite their rising popularity, current cloud storage offers and cloud-backed storage
systems still have some limitations related with reliability, durability assurances and …

Distributed LSM-based databases face throughput and latency issues due to load
imbalance across instances and interference from background tasks such as flushing …

Besides well-known benefits, commodity cloud storage also raises concerns that include
security, reliability, and consistency. We present Hybris key-value store, the first robust …

We present Charon, a cloud-backed storage system capable of storing and sharing big data
in a secure, reliable, and efficient way using multiple cloud providers and storage …

Today's systems pervasively rely on redundancy to ensure reliability. In complex multi-
