Essays on Storage

Storage of digital data has become very vital in today’s world. With the current issues on energy conservation and mankind’s effort to save the trees and greening the planet, digitally storing data has become the trend instead of printing every data out which would need millions of trees to be cut just to have enough paper to print these tons of data. For example, telephone companies are now encouraging the enrollment of e-statement instead of sending printouts of the monthly bills of their customers. Copies of the billing statements are just sent via email for the customer ...

SAN (Storage Area Network) and NAS (Network Attached Storage) are the main data storage technologies which are being used by organizations. In SAN, high-speed storage devices are connected to each other via network and also to servers. Servers on the network are able to access the storage devices which include tape libraries, RAID hardware and others. In NAS technology, more storage space (hard-disk) can be added to networks which are used as shared network resources. NAS is therefore a file-server allowing many network file systems and other services.
SAN was designed mainly for large organizations with a ...

Abstract
Relational Database Systems (RDBMS) are the most popular database systems today. The relational model of database management emerged from a dynamic database model called DataBase Management System (DBMS). Dbase and FoxPro were the popular DBMS in the 1970’s and 1980’s. RDBMS emerged in the 1990’s. Though RDBMS is a popular form of database management, few appreciate its true potential. Modern applications that allow multiple devices to access and manipulate data are overshadowing RDBMS. NoSQL models such as Hadoop and MapReduce allow document processing which is a feature that the relational model lacks. An in-depth understanding ...

The Future of Cloud Computing

Introduction
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing applies to the development of parallel computing, distributed computing, and grid computing (Rad, et al., 2009). Cloud computing refers both to a platform and a type of application (Buyya, Yeo, Venugoplas, Broberg, & Brandic 2009). Cloud computing platforms provide the services necessary for developers to create new SaaS applications; it is a dynamic process that provisions, configures, reconfigures, and deprovisions servers. Cloud platforms provide a pool of resources to host different applications where computing power is delivered on demand (Van, Tran, & Menaud, 2009). Cloud applications use large databases and powerful servers that host Internet-based applications ...

There lacks a safe way of nuclear disposal, despite the harm caused by nuclear waste. Nuclear power generates electricity with little emissions of carbon dioxide and other waste products, most of which are radioactive. These waste products can be harmful to both the environment and human life. Notwithstanding the risks that may be posed by poor nuclear disposal, most governments pay little attention to this issue, during public policy making. As a result, many communities place use of land on nuclear facilities on the top list of locally unwanted land uses (LULUs). Again, these communities do not have confidence ...

Information life-cycle management (ILM) is a concept, which emerged in response to the growing amount of information and relatively high storage costs. In the core of this activity is determining information needs of a company, and evaluating the appropriate level of expenditures on its storage. It is based on the assumption that information follows a particular life-cycle, from capturing to an eventual decline. At each stage, information has different value for the company, therefore requiring different measures to insure its safety.

One of the most common approaches to ILM is assessing cost structure, which is usually represented by the ...
