Storage Management Tools for a Storage System
• Companies that have a huge amount of data.
• When a user wants to get data from the Storage System, he will wait a long amount of time to get the data that he desires, and it may cause him to lose money, deals, etc…:- For example, in the NASDAQ stock market computers
compete between themselves to buy and sell stocks.
The company which has a faster Storage System than their competitors can get the requested information first, and earn more money.

Is it in cache?NO
Storage Systems have a huge amount of data to store and manage (in many cases, more then 100 TB).
Storage Systems use DRAM memories as cache. DRAM memories are very fast, but they are also very
expensive. Storage Systems have a small capacity of cache
(usually 16 Giga Bytes). Cache capacity is very small compared to the disk drive
capacity that the storage system has. Cache misses lead to poor performance.
Current situation:
Research on the extension of the Memory-Cache,of the Storage System, with flash disks (size of 150GB each ).
Tracking the trace of the Storage System:- amount of hit ratio before and after adding the Flash memory as extension of the cache.- statistical measures :Kb read/write – in time intervals.
Integrate a clustering algorithm with the trace: - cluster the Storage System : which will map the LUNs of the Storage System.- helps organize the caching algorithm.
Develop a simulator which the IT manager will use to examine and organize his/her Storage System.
Project Requirements
We will implement the UPGMA clustering algorithm with the use of C++ with threads.
Build a simulator that will predict and examine the benefits of adding Flash into the Memory-Cache.
Investigate the behavior of “local”/”global” caching algorithms for the implementation of the Flash.
