- Network-Attached Secure Disks
Expert subject Computing date April 2007 Network Attached Secure Disks NASD is 1997 2001 research project of Carnegie Mellon University , with the goal of providing cost effective scalable computer storage storage Bandwidth computing bandwidth . Overview NASD reduces the overhead on the file Server computing server file manager by allowing storage devices to transfer data directly to Client computing client s. Most of the file manager s work is offloaded to the storage disk without integrating the file system policy into the disk. Most client operations like Read Write go directly to the disks less frequent operations like authentication go to the file manager. Disks transfer variable length objects instead of fixed size blocks to clients. The File Manager provides a time limited cachable capability for clients to access the storage objects. A file access from the client to the disks has the following sequence The client authenticates itself with the file manager and requests for the file access. If the client can be granted access to the file requested, the client receives the Computer network network location of NASD disks and their capability. If the client is accessing the disk for the first time, it receives a time limited key for the establishment of secure communication to the disk. The file manager informs the corresponding disk using an independent channel. From now on, the client directly accesses the NASD disks by giving the capability it received and further data transfers go through the network, bypassing the file manager.

- Massive array of idle disks
Refimprove date December 2008 merge Non RAID drive architectures discuss Talk Massive array of idle disks Merger proposal date April 2010 In computing , a massive array of idle disks more commonly known as a MAID is a system using hundreds to thousands of hard drive s for nearline storage of data . MAID is designed for Write Once, Read Occasionally WORO applications. In a MAID each drive is only spun up on demand as needed to access the data stored on that drive. This is not unlike a very large JBOD Just a Bunch Of Disks JBOD but with power management. Compared to Redundant array of independent disks RAID technology a MAID has increased storage density, and decreased cost, electrical power, and cooling requirements. However, these advantages are at the cost of much increased latency, significantly lower throughput , and decreased redundancy. Low drive utilization rates may actually reduce reliability in consumer oriented large PATA and SATA drives. ref name harris google Harris, Rick 2007 02 19 . http storagemojo.com 2007 02 19 googles disk failure experience Google s Disk Failure Experience , StorageMojo, Retrieved on 2009 12 19 ref Drives designed for multiple spin up down cycles e.g. laptop drives are significantly more expensive.
