Cloud storage systems generally add redundancy in storing content files such that $K$ files are replicated or erasure coded and stored on $N > K$ nodes. In addition to providing reliability against failures, the redundant copies can be used…

This paper presents a new erasure code called Treeplication designed for distributed recovery of the full information word, while most prior work in coding for distributed storage only supports distributed repair of individual symbols. A…
