We conducted a preliminary field study to understand the current state of personal digital archiving in practice. Our aim is to design a service for the long-term storage, preservation, and access of digital belongings by examining how…
Data storage systems serve as the foundation of digital society. The enormous data generated by people on a daily basis make the fault tolerance of data storage systems increasingly important. Unfortunately, modern storage systems consist…
This initial version of this document was written back in 2014 for the sole purpose of providing fundamentals of reliability theory as well as to identify the theoretical types of machinery for the prediction of durability/availability of…
Protecting data from malicious computer users continues to grow in importance. Whether preventing unauthorized access to personal photographs, ensuring compliance with federal regulations, or ensuring the integrity of corporate secrets, all…
An increasing amount of information today is generated, exchanged, and stored digitally. This also includes long-lived and highly sensitive information (e.g., electronic health records, governmental documents) whose integrity and…
The report explores the challenges and strategies for preserving 3D digital data in cultural heritage. It discusses the issue of technological obsolescence, emphasising the need for ustainable storage solutions and ongoing data management…
As consumers are increasingly engaged in social networking and E-commerce activities, businesses grow to rely on Big Data analytics for intelligence, and traditional IT infrastructures continue to migrate to the cloud and edge, these trends…
Distributed Hash Tables offer a resilient lookup service for unstable distributed environments. Resilient data storage, however, requires additional data replication and maintenance algorithms. These algorithms can have an impact on both…
An increasing amount of sensitive information today is stored electronically and a substantial part of this information (e.g., health records, tax data, legal documents) must be retained over long time periods (e.g., several decades or even…
This article addresses the problem of formulating efficient and reliable operational preservation policies that ensure bit-level information integrity over long periods, and in the presence of a diverse range of real-world technical, legal,…
Modern datacenters assemble a very large number of disk drives under a single roof. Even if economic and technical factors where to make individual drives more reliable (which is not at all clear, given the commoditization of the…
Distributed storage systems are known to be susceptible to long tails in response time. In modern online storage systems such as Bing, Facebook, and Amazon, the long tails of the service latency are of particular concern. with 99.9th…
Containerization plays a crucial role in the de facto technology stack for implementing microservices architecture (each microservice has its own database in most cases). Nevertheless, there are still fierce debates on containerizing…
Cold data storage systems are used to allow long term digital preservation for institutions' archives. The common functionality among cold and warm/hot data storage is that the data is stored on some physical medium for read-back at a later…
The Linked Data Paradigm is one of the most promising technologies for publishing, sharing, and connecting data on the Web, and offers a new way for data integration and interoperability. However, the proliferation of distributed,…
How can an author store digital information so that it will be reliably useful, even years later when he is no longer available to answer questions? Methods that might work are not good enough; what is preserved today should be reliably…
Policy Brief on "Long Term Space Data and Informatics Needs", distilled from the corresponding panel that was part of the discussions during S20 Policy Webinar on Astroinformatics for Sustainable Development held on 6-7 July 2023.…
We address the problem of securing distributed storage systems against eavesdropping and adversarial attacks. An important aspect of these systems is node failures over time, necessitating, thus, a repair mechanism in order to maintain a…
The 21st century belongs to the world of computing, specially as a result of the so-called cloud computing. This technology enables ubiquitous information management and thus people can access all their data from any place and at any time.…
In the current landscape of big data, the reliability and performance of storage systems are essential to the success of various applications and services. as data volumes continue to grow exponentially, the complexity and scale of the…
