Security and privacy becomes the biggest concern for application owner to embrace cloud computing. Although cloud computing is able to save cost for both application owner and cloud owner with consolidation, however, application owner is still worrying whether cloud can protect their data generated by their...

Solid state drives are much more expensive than enterprise hard disk drives. Today, users of enterprise storage systems must choose between high cost SSD drives capable of fast I/O, or slower I/O at significantly reduced cost. Customers also have to weigh having a more expensive RAID, such as RAID 10, which offers...

In an Enterprise Storage Server there are many spare drives placed on the system as part of the design architecture. The number of spare drives used in an Enterprise Storage Server is dependent upon the architecture of the system. These spare drives simply sit idle or unused by the server until a drive in use goes...

There exists data in a customer environment that must be optimized for faster writes (such as airline reservation centers or similar applications). A need exists to leverage Solid State Drives for this purpose in a cost efficient manner. As Sub-LUN optimization and other automatic tiering algorithms advance, such a...

The core idea is to feedback to a software developer who wants to use code written by other external developers whether the API (Application Programming Interface) calls present in the external code have been tested. That way the developer can choose which to use and avoid potentially hazardous code. This idea is...

CPU cache performance can be improved by appropriate use of cache manipulation instructions to inform the cache of information about areas of memory that the program would like to access in the near future. Addition of another simple instruction could improve cache performance further by giving the program the...
