Reliability Models for Highly Fault-tolerant Storage Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We found that a reliability model commonly used to estimate Mean-Time-To-Data-Loss (MTTDL), while suitable for modeling RAID 0 and RAID 5, fails to accurately model systems having a fault-tolerance greater than 1. Therefore, to model the reliability of RAID 6, Triple-Replication, or k-of-n systems requires an alternate technique. In this paper, we explore some alternatives, and evaluate their efficacy by comparing their predictions to simulations. Our main result is a new formula which more accurately models storage system reliability.

Reliability Markov models are becoming unreliable ( WIP submission )
Markov models have traditionally been used to understand the reliability of storage systems. They provide intuition about the sensitivity of storage system reliability to changes in disk failure rates, rebuild rates, sector failure rates, scrubbing rates, and storage capacity. Unfortunately, as we move towards multi-disk fault tolerant storage systems, i.e., storage systems that tolerate two or...
متن کاملReliability and Performance Evaluation of Fault-aware Routing Methods for Network-on-Chip Architectures (RESEARCH NOTE)
Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
متن کاملFault Tolerant DNA Computing Based on Digital Microfluidic Biochips
Historically, DNA molecules have been known as the building blocks of life, later on in 1994, Leonard Adelman introduced a technique to utilize DNA molecules for a new kind of computation. According to the massive parallelism, huge storage capacity and the ability of using the DNA molecules inside the living tissue, this type of computation is applied in many application areas such as me...
متن کاملBuilding Flexible, Fault-Tolerant Flash-based Storage Systems
Adding flash memory to the storage hierarchy has recently gained a great deal of attention in both industry and academia. Decreasing cost, low power utilization and improved performance has sparked this interest. Flash reliability is a weakness that must be overcome in order for the storage industry to fully adopt flash for persistent storage in mission-critical systems such as high-end storage...
متن کاملProceedings of the 2005 International Conference on Simulation and Modeling
Reliability enhancement in software system is a crucial and challenging issue. Applying efficient fault-tolerant mechanism can fulfill the system reliability requirement. This paper proposes reliability models for hierarchical and hybrid fault-tolerant software systems considering failure dependencies or related faults in software components/versions. Our system models are based on the classica...
