TITLE:
Virtualized Network Storage

ABSTRACT:
In this talk I will present Slice, a logically unified but physically decentralized storage service architecture. Slice provides a virtualized NFS server using a thin network element (a "storage router") to redirect client requests across a server ensemble. Challenges include data partitioning and management policies, scaling concerns, and preserving single-server failure semantics in this multi-server environment. Our terabyte-capacity prototype is compatible with standard NFS clients, delivering scalable request throughput and I/O bandwidth exceeding one gigabyte per second.
