• Storage and Cloud Challenges


• Our industry is facing many challenges, but one of the greatest is the lack of progress in advancing storage technology, and how they will impact data distribution needed for cloud computing and cloud archives. Some of the challenges the community is facing are disk and tape hard error rates, network limitations, security, and undetectable errors, just to name a few. This talk with explore some of these and other challenges and attempt to bound the problem. The goal of the talk is to provide the audience with an understanding of some of the challenges and what must be considered when designing large complex storage systems in the HPC environments.
