Features: This book is a work on data storage systems, containing a wealth of the author's research findings and presented to readers for the first time. It introduces massive storage systems currently under research and soon to become popular, including disk arrays, network-attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), etc. The book provides detailed, specific, and in-depth discussions on various aspects such as system architecture, composition principles, software and scheduling algorithm design, fault tolerance handling, system management, and performance testing. From a theoretical analysis perspective, it offers several new methods and application examples for analyzing system performance; from an engineering practice perspective, it provides multiple design examples of storage systems, illustrating their design methods, software workflows, and scheduling techniques. This book is suitable for scientists and engineers engaged in theoretical research, engineering practice, and system integration of storage systems, as well as serving as a teaching reference for graduate and undergraduate students in relevant disciplines at universities.
