Concept and Evaluation of X-NAS: A Highly Scalable NAS System
نویسندگان
چکیده
X-NAS (eXpandable network attached storage), a highly scalable, distributed file system designed for entrylevel NAS, has been developed. It virtualizes multiple NAS systems into a single-file-system view for different kinds of clients. The core of X-NAS is a multi-protocol virtualized file system (MVFS), and its key features—a smart-code wrapper daemon, file-group mapping, and a file-handle cache—improve X-NAS scalability. X-NAS has other key features for improving the manageability on many NAS systems; namely, on-line reconfiguration, autonomous rebalancing, and automatic migration, in which files are migrated automatically and dynamically independently of file-sharing services for clients. To validate the X-NAS concept, an X-NAS prototype was designed and tested according to the NFSv2 implementation. These tests indicate that X-NAS attains a quicker response time and higher throughput than a conventional single NAS, so its cost-performance scalability is also higher.

On X ̃-frames and conjugate systems in Banach spaces
The generalization of p-frame in Banach spaces is considered in this paper. The concepts of an $tilde{X}$-frame and a system conjugate to $tilde{X}$-frame were introduced. Analogues of the results on the existence of conjugate system were obtained. The stability of $tilde{X}$-frame having a conjugate system is studied.
متن کاملAn On-line Backup Function for a Clustered NAS System (X-NAS)
An on-line backup function for X-NAS, a clustered NAS system designed for entry-level NAS, has been developed. The on-line backup function can replicate file objects on XNAS to a remote NAS in real-time. It makes use of the virtualized global file system of X-NAS, and sends NFS write operations to both X-NAS and the remote backup NAS at the same time. The performance of the on-line backup funct...

Abstract Background and objective: NAS is a combination of signs and symptoms that due to physical and mental dependency, develops in neonates born from drug addicted mothers. The onset of NAS varies in accordance with the type, amount, frequency and duration of substance used. Because of diverse and unclear pattern of substance abuse in Iranian addicted pregnant mothers in comparison with west...
متن کاملAn Airspace Concept Evaluation System Characterization Of National Airspace System Delay
This paper presents an analysis of National Airspace System (NAS) delay. An interacting set of models called the Airspace Concept Evaluation System (ACES) was used to simulate one day of NAS-wide air traffic. A total of 36 simulations were run. They included nine different airport capacity conditions across the NAS and four levels of NAS-wide demand. The analysis of delay results for these 36 s...
متن کاملOn statistical type convergence in uniform spaces
The concept of ${mathscr{F}}_{st}$-fundamentality is introduced in uniform spaces, generated by some filter ${mathscr{F}}$. Its equivalence to the concept of ${mathscr{F}}$-convergence in uniform spaces is proved. This convergence generalizes many kinds of convergence, including the well-known statistical convergence.
