Advanced Storage Magnetooptical Disk (AS-MO) System

Advanced Optical Disk Storage Technology

There is a growing need within the Air Force for more and better data storage solutions. Rome Laboratory, the Air Force's Center of Excellence for C3I technology, has sponsored the development of a number of operational prototypes to deal with this growing problem. This paper will briefly summarize the various prototype developments with examples of full mil-spec and best commercial practice. T...

Disk Array Storage System

Fault tolerance requirements for near term disk array storage systems are analyzed. The excellent reliability provided by RAID Level 5 data organization is seen to be insuucient for these systems. We consider various alternatives { improved MTBF and MTTR times as well as smaller reliability groups and increased numbers of check disks per group { to obtain the necessary improved reliability. The...
