The Architecture of High-Capacity Storage Systems

Abstract:

The computing industry is one of the fastest growing industries and it is caused by the rapid progression of computer hardware and software technological developments. The high-capacity storage systems become the important element of the network architectures. The network architectures of high-capacity storage systems can be developed by using various, different techniques. The present paper aims to give a review about the storage systems architecture, systematize the various types of connection, and present the significance of virtualization. Based on industry specific literature and on own research, the present paper sets up a clear systematization of these techniques by providing a brief summary of their essence, while also providing examples of their application in different network storages. The present article also provides an insight into the topic of the different connecting types of network systems, while highlighting the importance of virtualization and application of the iSCSI technology. After the explanation of the challenge of redundancies in storage systems, the author outlines the importance of using RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology for handling the issue of redundancy
