Abstract:In this paper, a multistate cloud‐RAID (redundant array of independent disks) storage system subject to fault‐level coverage (FLC) is modeled and analyzed. Most of the existing works on reliability analysis of cloud‐RAID systems have either assumed binary‐state for storage disks or failed to consider imperfect fault coverage, an inherent behavior of fault‐tolerant systems. This work advances the state of the art by proposing a combinatorial method based on multivalued decision diagrams for analyzing reliabilit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
