Disk loads are balanced by striping data into strips--with one strip per disk-- and storage reliability is enhanced via replication or erasure coding, which at best dedicates k strips per stripe to tolerate k disk failures. Flash memories have resulted in a paradigm shift with Solid State Drives (SSDs) replacing Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) for high performance applications. RAID and Flash have resulted in the emergence of new storage companies, namely EMC, NetApp, SanDisk, and Purestorage, and a multibillion-dollar storage market. Key new conferences and publications are reviewed in this book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe goal of the book is to expose students, researchers, and IT professionals to the more important developments in storage systems, while covering the evolution of storage technologies, traditional and novel databases, and novel sources of data. We describe several prototypes: FAWN at CMU, RAMCloud at Stanford, and Lightstore at MIT; Oracle's Exadata, AWS' Aurora, Alibaba's PolarDB, Fungible Data Center; and author's paper designs for cloud storage, namely heterogeneous disk arrays and hierarchical RAID.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Thomasian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0323907962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780323907965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morgan Kaufmann Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.49d","brand":"Alexander Thomasian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982491287807,"sku":"9780323907965","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6144bb2b-c091-430e-a58d-fa2bc5c8fbbe.jpg?v=1683261463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/storage-systems-alexander-thomasian-9780323907965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
