Emerging Zoned Namespace (ZNS) SSDs, providing the coarse-grained zone abstraction,
hold the potential to significantly enhance the cost-efficiency of future storage infrastructure …

For a decade, the Ceph distributed file system followed the conventional wisdom of building
its storage backend on top of local file systems. This is a preferred choice for most distributed …

Research on flash devices almost exclusively focuses on conventional SSDs, which expose
a block interface. Industry, however, has standardized and is adopting Zoned Namespaces …

We propose an I/O stack for ZNS based flash storage in mobile environment, ZMS. The zone
interface is known to save the flash storage from two fundamental issues which modern flash …

Unlike traditional block-based SSDs, Zoned Namespace (ZNS) SSDs expose storage
through the zoned block interface, completely eliminating the need for in-device garbage …

This paper presents how the Pangu storage system continuously evolves with hardware
technologies and the business model to provide high-performance, reliable storage services …

Key-value stores (KV) have become one of the main components of the modern storage and
data processing system stack. With the increasing need for timely data analysis …

The recent byte-addressable and large-capacity commercialized persistent memory (PM) is
promising to drive database as a service (DBaaS) into unchartered territories. This paper …

The Log-Structured Merge (LSM) tree is considered well-suited to zoned namespace (ZNS)
storage devices since the write requests to LSM-tree is sequential. However, zones can be …

This paper presents the first large-scale field study of NAND-based SSDs in enterprise
storage systems (in contrast to drives in distributed data center storage systems). The study …
