Abstract

In modern data centers, the volume of data has grown to an enormous size with an incredible speed due to the flourish of the Internet, mobile network, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Storage systems play a critical role under different scenarios, eg, machine learning pipeline, interactive data analysis, data storage service, etc. Applications have to meet with very high requirements in the aspects of performance, capacity, and reliability. However, the I/O performance of storage systems suffer from the long-latency of storage devices. Besides, the data area density of storage devices has reached a bottleneck. Thus, it becomes difficult to increase the capacity of storage systems further. At last, silent data corruption happens more frequently than we expect. Traditional methods, eg, replica, erasure code, etc., are not sufficient to ensure data reliability anymore.
