Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is the most widely used model for advanced access
control deployed in diverse enterprises of all sizes. RBAC critically depends on defining …

Erasure coding is a low-cost redundancy mechanism for distributed storage systems by
storing stripes of data and parity chunks. Wide stripes are recently proposed to suppress the …

In-memory key/value store (KV-store) is a key building block for many systems like
databases and large websites. Two key requirements for such systems are efficiency and …

We propose repair pipelining, a technique that speeds up the repair performance in general
erasure-coded storage. By carefully scheduling the repair of failed data in small-size units …

The full-replication data storage mechanism, as commonly utilized in existing blockchains, is
the barrier to the system's scalability, since it retains a copy of entire blockchain at each …

Despite their exceptional error-correcting properties, Reed-Solomon (RS) codes have been
overlooked in distributed storage applications due to the common belief that they have poor …

Embodiments provide methodologies for reliably storing data within a storage system using
liquid distributed storage control. Such liquid distributed storage control operates to …

Repair performance in hierarchical data centers is often bottlenecked by cross-rack network
transfer. Recent theoretical results show that the cross-rack repair traffic can be minimized …

Flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) are increasingly adopted as the mainstream storage
media in modern data centers. However, little is known about how SSD failures in the field …
