System | Storage Infrastructure | Comments |
---|---|---|
Berkeley Ocean Store, UCLA | Tapestry overlay for resource virtualization, FEC, location-independent routing abstraction | Pro: Best suited for read-only archiving. Con: prone to partitioning |
Cooperative File System (CFS), MIT | DHT DHash and Chord location protocol | Pro: Decentralized, scalability Con: File system layer only provides read-only file system semantics, no quota |
Wuala, Swiss FIT | DHT cipher-block chaining, Reed-Solomon FEC, Chord P2P overlay (super nodes, storage nodes and client nodes) | Pro: provider archiving purposes, scalable, peers are both suppliers and consumers of resources, quota |
BigTable, Google | Google File System, DFS by SNA sharding | Pro: scalable Con: single master server, not distributed outside Google |
Simple Storage Service, Amazon | Zero-hop DHT, details unknown | Pro: Excellent latency and scalability. Con: Closed proprietary design |
