Description

The tremendous need for storage capacity and I/O performance has become a critical factor for computing systems, generally, from enterprise systems to computational science and everything in between. As a result, disk I/O and data storage on which data reside have clearly become \"first class citizens\" in the modern information world. In addition, parallelism is now ubiquitous in computing, from multi-core processors within a single enclosure to massively parallel I/O systems that span many racks of equipment. SNAPI 2010 brings together experts from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on parallel and distributed data storage technologies, storage interconnects, and storage management.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Â? Caching and consistency

Â? Data archiving

Â? Data protection and recovery

Â? Distributed metadata management

Â? Evaluation of networked storage architectures

Â? File systems, object-based storage, block-level storage

Â? Integration of storage and computation

Â? NAS and SAN architectures

Â? Networked storage manageability, reliability, and availability

Â? Networked storage performance and scalability

Â? Parallel I/O architectures

Â? Solid Storage Architectures

Â? Storage management systems

Â? Storage networking: e.g. Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, IP Storage, iSCSI
