- Extend your Windows NT server's reach with DFS
- When you run out of disk space on your Windows NT server, you could buy some space by adding extra hard drives. But in the end, the Distributed File System might be your best bet. In this Daily Drill Down, Brien Posey shows you how this add-on works.When a server...

- Cryptographic Security for a High-Performance Distributed File System
- Storage systems are increasingly subject to attacks. Cryptographic file systems mitigate the danger of exposing data by using encryption and integrity protection methods and guarantee end-to-end security for their clients. This paper describes a generic design for cryptographic file systems and its realization in a distributed Storage-Area Network SAN file...

- Detecting and Reacting Against Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
- Distributed Denial of Service Attacks DDoS are becoming a big threat to the Internet. Recently, some DDoS attacks have infected more than 100, 000 vulnerable hosts over Internet within 10 minutes. Consequences of these attacks can be devastating toward many companies whose security policy against this kind of attacks relies...

- A Distributed File System for a Wide-Area High Performance Computing Infrastructure
- This paper describes the work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for transparent access to personal files across over 9000 computer nodes. XUFS builds on many principles from prior distributed file systems research,...

- Proportional Service Allocation in Distributed Storage Systems
- Fully distributed storage systems have gained popularity in the past few years because of their ability to use cheap commodity hardware and their high scalability. While there are a number of algorithms for providing differentiated quality of service to clients of a centralized storage system, the problem has not been...

- Step-by-Step Guide to Distributed File System (Dfs)
- Since shared files are widely distributed across networks, administrators face growing problems as they try to keep users connected to the data they need. The distributed file system Dfs provides a mechanism for administrators to create logical views of directories and files, regardless of where those files physically reside in...

- Don't Give Up on Distributed File Systems
- Wide-area distributed applications often reinvent the wheel for their storage needs, each incorporating its own special-purpose storage manager to cope with distribution, intermittent failures, limited bandwidth, and high latencies. This paper argues that a distributed file system could provide a reusable solution to these problems by coupling a standard interface...

- Towards a Multi-Perspective Assessment of Scalability of Distributed IT Services
- Scalability is an important issue in distributed IT service design and should be addressed at least from technical and economic perspectives. The paper presents a conceptual framework that addresses scalability from these two perspectives. To explore scalability of distributed services, the framework employs a value model and UML deployment model...

- Sinfonia: A New Paradigm for Building Scalable Distributed Systems
- This paper proposes a new paradigm for building scalable distributed systems. One's approach does not require dealing with message-passing protocols - a major complication in existing distributed systems. Instead, developers just design and manipulate data structures within the service called Sinfonia. Sinfonia keeps data for applications on a set of...

- TechNet Webcast: End-to-End Service Monitoring With System Center Operations Manager 2007 (Level 200)
- This webcast discusses some common challenges that customers have in monitoring distributed applications, and explains how Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 addresses those issues. The focus here is not about how to develop a Service-Oriented Architecture SOA or how to design distributed applications, but rather how to monitor them....

- Distributed File System
- Microsoft Distributed File System does for servers and shares what file systems do for hard disks. File systems provide uniform named access to collections of sectors on disks; Dfs provides a uniform naming convention and mapping for collections of servers, shares, and files. Thus, Dfs makes it possible to organize...

- Performance Analysis of Distributed Data Base Systems
- In this paper we briefly present the design of a distributed relational data base system. Then, we discuss experimental observations of the performance of that system executing both short and long commands. Conclusions are also drawn concerning metrics that distributed query processing heuristics should attempt to minimize. Lastly, we comment...

- Load Balancing Techniques for Distributed Stream Processing Applications in Overlay Environments
- Service overlays that support distributed stream processing applications are increasingly being deployed in wide-area environments. The inherent heterogeneous, dynamic and large-scale nature of these systems makes it difficult to meet the Quality of Service QoS requirements of the distributed stream processing applications. This paper address the load balancing problem for...

- Quality of Service in Distributed Systems
- Delivering quality of service QOS guarantees in distributed systems is fundamentally an end-to-end issue, that is, from application-to-application. Consider, for example, the remote access and distribution of audio and video content from a web server: in the distributed system platform, quality of service assurances should apply to the complete flow...

- Building protocol independence in a service-oriented architecture
- Designing an effective distributed software system becomes especially tricky when considering the fact that services and processes might need to interact with each other across multiple protocols. Because of the way most distributed systems encapsulate the protocol details of inter-process communication, it can be difficult to update your system when...

- Distributed Network Architecture for WiMAX: Digital, Converged, Mobile IP World
- With a distributed WiMAX network architecture, the WiMAX system simply becomes an extension of the IP network to the mobile user. Leveraging simple IP-based backhaul connections, service providers can very readily service a myriad of WiMAX base sites (e.g. large, medium, sectorized, omni, micro, pico) for varying coverage and capacity...
