To meet NASA's required speed, capacity, flexibility, and reliability at a reasonable cost, these systems will need to employ modem techniques of data presorting, disk stripping, and parallel redundancy.

Commercial storage systems and components available today do provide the fundamental elements required for the development of such a high performance mass storage system. In particular, new commercial parallel drive array systems and parallel drive controllers provide an opportunity to develop and prototype architectures which are suitable and cost effective for NASA's applications. In addition, by utilizing experienced already gained in the use and application of VLSI technology, various required NASA specific functions can be integrated with these commercial storage components to develop an intelligent mass storage system prototype. This paper describes the architecture, components, and technical approach for such a mass storage system prototype. 1988-10 text Proceedings 0884-5123 0074-9079 http://hdl.handle.net/10150/615085 http://arizona.openrepository.com/arizona/handle/10150/615085 International Telemetering Conference Proceedings en_US http://www.telemetry.org/ Copyright © International Foundation for Telemetering International Foundation for Telemetering |
