We study the performance of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes for the \em exact repair problem \em in distributed storage. Our main result is that, in some parameter regimes, Reed-Solomon codes are optimal regenerating codes, among MDS codes with…

An $(n, k, d, \alpha)$-MSR (minimum storage regeneration) code is a set of $n$ nodes used to store a file. For a file of total size $k\alpha$, each node stores $\alpha$ symbols, any $k$ nodes recover the file, and any $d$ nodes can repair…

For an $(n,k,\ell)$ MDS array code over $\mathbb{F}_q$, how small can the repair bandwidth and repair I/O be under linear exact repair? We study this question in the regime where the field size $q$, the redundancy $r=n-k$, and the…

An $(n,k,d)$ cooperative regenerating code provides the optimal-bandwidth repair for any $t~(t\!>\!1)$ node failures in a cooperative way. In particular, an MSCR (minimum storage cooperative regenerating) code retains the same storage…
