CS 6464: Advanced Distributed Storage Systems

Cross-Listing: None

This course broadly examines distributed storage systems in its many manifestations. It explores how to harness and maintain the collective storage capabilities in storage systems from global scale enterprises and cloud computing to peer-to-peer, ad hoc, and home networks. Teaches abstractions, design and implementation techniques that allow the building of the kind of scalable high-performance distributed systems that can deal with real-world workload. Students read recent research papers on server design, network programming, naming, various storage systems, security, and fault tolerance.
