Title: Patterned Media Toward Nano-bit Magnetic Recording
Description: During the past decade, magnetic recording density of HDD has doubled almost every 18 months. To keep increasing the recording density, there is a need to make the small bits thermally stable. The most recent method using perpendicular recording media (PMR) will lose its fuel in a few years time and alternatives are sought. Patterned media, where the bits are magnetically separated from each other, offer the possibility to solve many issues encountered by PMR technology.

Title: Erasure coding vs. Replication
Description: High availability in peer-to-peer DHTs requires data redundancy. This paper compares two popular redundancy schemes: replication and erasure coding. Unlike previous comparisons, we take the characteristics of the nodes that comprise the overlay into account, and conclude that in some cases the benefits from coding are limited, and may not be worth its disadvantages. Paper is written by, Rodrigo Rodrigues and Barbara Liskov of MIT

Title: Why Fibre Channel over Ethernet
Description: Over the past ten years, Fibre Channel (FC) has become the technology of choice for Storage Area Networks (SANs) worldwide. In the process, it has generated a wide range of new storage solutions, including higher-performance block transport, high-availability storage access, streamlined data center operations for backup and data protection, and higher-level storage services based on virtualization and advanced management utilities. Other technical innovations, such as InfiniBand, Network-Attached Storage (NAS), and iSCSI, however, periodically spark temporary debate about Fibre Channel’s future and its viability as the next generation SAN transport.

Description: This paper presents the architecture of the dedupv1 deduplication system that uses solid-state drives (SSDs) to improve its throughput compared to disk-based systems. dedupv1 is designed to use the sweet spots of SSD technology (random reads and sequential operations), while avoiding random writes inside the data path. This is achieved by using a hybrid deduplication design. It is an inline deduplication system as it performs chunking and fingerprinting online and only stores new data, but it is able to delay much of the processing as well as IO operations.
