Storage virtualisation and management for NASD devices.
Abstract
This dissertation is a report on storage management model providing direct data transfer
between storage and client, network-attached storage devices have the potential to
Improve scalability (by eliminating the server as a bottleneck) and performance.
Network-attached secure disks (NASD) are drives that support independent client access
to drive provided object services. To realize the full potential of the technology we
should carefully consider security challenges that will be paused by such distributed
network storage interactions and then provide a security model and a security
implementation to provide action and data privacy. The dissertation will demonstrate
through experimentation and graphical representation, of results obtained, how NASD
can perform better than the classical store and forward processes.
