The requirements for storage space and computational power of large-scale applications are increasing rapidly. Clusters seem to be the most attractive architecture for such applications, due to their low costs and high scalability. On the other hand, smart disk systems, with their large storage capacities and growing computational power are becoming increasingly popular. In this work, we compar...

Ultrathin Na2Ti2O4(OH)2 nanosheets of ∼8 nm thickness were prepared by a facile method for the first time. The resulting material was also used as a conducting agent and binder-free anode, both for sodium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries, for the first time. The Na2Ti2O4(OH)2 nanosheets exhibited excellent Na/Li-ion storage performance. A long-term cycling performance of the ultrathin Na...

By virtue of their unique electronic properties, nanometer-diameter sized single-walled carbon nanotubes represent ideal candidates to function as active parts of nanoelectronic memory storage devices. We show for the first time that GeTe, a phase change material, currently considered to be one of the most promising materials for data-storage applications, can efficiently be encapsulated within...

In the current era of cloud computing, Cloud storage is a significant service of cloud computing where data stored in the cloud is being generated at high speed and thus the cloud storage system has become one of the key components in cloud computing. Data owner host their data and data consumers can use the data on and from the server. The security issue arises due to the data outsourcing. Thi...

Self-securing storage prevents intruders from undetectably tampering with or permanently deleting stored data. To accomplish this, self-securing storage devices internally audit all requests and keep all versions of all data for a window of time, regardless of the commands received from potentially compromised host operating systems. Within this window, system administrators have valuable infor...

When Guinea yam, Dioscorea rotundata Poir, was inoculated with Pratylenchus coffeae and Scutellonema bradys together, there was a 53% suppression of top growth, but when plants were inoculated separately there was a 29% suppression with P. coffeae and a 21% suppression with S. bradys. The reproduction of S. bradys was greatly inhibited when both nematode species were together on the same plant ...

Organic carbonyl compounds represent a promising class of electrode materials for secondary batteries; however, the storage mechanism still remains unclear. We take Na2C6H2O4 as an example to unravel the mechanism. It consists of alternating Na-O octahedral inorganic layer and π-stacked benzene organic layer in spatial separation, delivering a high reversible capacity and first coulombic effici...

IP Traceback is a way to search for sources of damage to the network or host computer. IP Traceback method consists of reactive and proactive methods, and the proactive method induces a serious storage overhead. However, a system capable of solving these problems through cluster-based mass storage, digestible packets and hierarchical collections was designed. It not only performs traceback but ...

Multiplex File System (MPFS) is a new network file access protocol that allows heterogeneous hosts to directly access shared data on a network-attached storage device. Current I/O benchmarks are not suitable to measure the performance of MPFS because they mainly measure the performance of NFS or CIFS. The MPFS split data-metadata architecture demands new ways to evaluate performance. We develop...

This memo describes a snapshot of the reasoning behind a proposed new namespace, the Host Identity namespace, and a new protocol layer, the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), between the internetworking and transport layers. Herein are presented the basics of the current namespaces, their strengths and weaknesses, and how a new namespace will add completeness to them. The roles of this new namespace...
