| Description: | This paper presents DSS, a distributed storage system that can be shared across a wide area network. DSS offers an infrastructure for supporting block-level caching and sharing in large distributed computing environments. DSS makes it possible to treat any disk either local or remote in the same way. This allows us to pool storage over a wide area network to create virtual disks that can be used as if they exist locally. DSS also enables block-level sharing by maintaining consistency through an invalidation mechanism, similar to a distributed shared memory. This paper presents the design of DSS and an evaluation of DSS through benchmarks. To illustrate our approach, we implemented a prototype system on PCs running Linux. We present the results from the prototype implementation and its evaluation. |
