The Swarm Scalable Storage System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Swarm is a storage system that provides scalable, reliable, and cost-effective data storage. Swarm is based on storage servers, rather than file servers; the storage servers are optimized for cost-performance and aggregated to provide high-performance data access. Swarm uses a striped log abstraction to store data on the storage servers. This abstraction simplifies storage allocation, improves file ac-ion simplifies storage allocation, improves file access performance, balances server loads, provides faulttolerance through computed redundancy, and simplifies crash recovery. We have developed a Swarm prototype using a cluster of Linux-based personal computers as the storage servers and clients; the clients access the servers via the Swarm-based Sting file system. Our performance measurements show that a single Swarm client can write to two storage servers at 3.0 MB/s., while four clients can write to eight servers at 16.0 MB/s.

Swarm [3] is a storage system for Linux that provides scalable, reliable, and cost-e ective data storage. At its lowest level, Swarm implements a logstructured interface to a cluster of storage devices. Above the log, Swarm provides an infrastructure that allows high-level abstractions and functionality to be implemented easily and eÆciently. This paper describes the design and implementation o...
متن کاملRobust and Scalable Coordination of Potential-Field Driven Agents
In this paper, we introduce a nature-inspired multi-agent system for resource distribution in large storage facilities. The system is based on potential fields and swarm intelligence, in which straightforward path planning is integrated. We show both experimentally and theoretically that the system is adaptive, robust and scalable. Moreover, we show that the planning component helps to overcome...
متن کاملCustomizing the swarm storage system using agents
Swarm is a scalable, modular storage system that uses agents to customize low-level storage functions to meet the needs of high-level services. Agents influence low-level storage functions such as data layout, metadata management, and crash recovery. An agent is a program that is attached to data in the storage system and invoked when events occur during the data’s lifetime. For example, before...

Internet of things (IoTs) is the newfound information architecture based on the internet that develops interactions between objects and services in a secure and reliable environment. As the availability of many smart devices rises, secure and scalable mass storage systems for aggregate data is required in IoTs applications. In this paper, we propose a new method for storing aggregate data in Io...

Swarm is a scalable, modular storage system that allows high-level services to influence low-level storage functions such as data layout, metadata management, and crash recovery via agents. An agent is a program that is attached to data in the storage system and invoked when particular events occur during the data’s lifetime. For example, when Swarm needs to write data to disk, agents attached ...
