Energy Consumption and Reliability of Storage Systems

General Information

Large-scale computing infrastructures make unprecedented demands on infor- mation storage capacity, performance, energy consumption, reliability, and manageability. From the user perspective, digital literacy is growing with the use of Internet and devices that are always online. This leads to applications such as uploading pictures and videos on social websites, that require storage reliability and capacity. The need to save large amounts of valuable data imposes stringent energy consumption and reliability constraints on storage systems.

As the storage capacity improves, advanced techniques are being employed to proactively conserve energy while enhancing the reliability of the storage systems. To this end, the Workshop on Energy Consumption and Reliability of Storage Systems, is organized to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the challenges, opportunities, and approaches of energy-aware and reli- able storage systems. This workshop focuses on the data storage problems and emerging solutions found in large-scale scientific and enterprise computing environments, with special attention to the issues concerning energy consumption and reliability of the storage systems.
