Reducing Complexity of Server Configuration through Public Cloud Storage

NetPiler: Reducing Network Configuration Complexity through Policy Classification

As a network evolves over time, multiple operators modify the network configuration, without fully considering what has been done previously. Similar policies are defined more than once, and policies that become obsolete after a transition are left in the configuration. As a result, the network configuration becomes complicated and disorganized, escalating maintenance costs and operator faults....

Reducing the complexity of software configuration∗

Marmoset is a simple unix-based tool for creating and maintaining large systems built from reusable “modules”. Marmoset provides unix commands for creating and editing modules, and for configuring modules so that they produce object code, libraries, or executables, as the case may be, from the component modules. A Marmoset module is implemented as a unix directory containing a number of files, ...

On the Security of Public Cloud Storage

The broadly accepted and undisputed economic benefits notwithstanding, cloud computing, and particularly cloud storage, raises many security-related and legal qualms: Every enterprise considering to utilize cloud storage has to deal with compliance and security restrictions. In order to address these, cloud providers offer more and more security mechanisms for their services. At closer inspecti...

Optimizing Configuration for Hierarchical Storage Based Continuous Media Server

Recent advances in computing and communication technologies have made it technically feasible and economically viable to provide on-line access to a variety of information services over high speed networks. Particularly, convergence of various technological factors, namely in network access and in video coding and transmission, have recently brought a rapid growth of interest in on-line access ...
