Abstract/Summary
Current existing storage solutions for aggregated file storage applications require the use of proprietary systems, as well as a homogenous file system across all storage devices. This study investigates the possibility to design a centralized virtual storage management system for distributed heterogeneous storage devices. The system was verified through functionality, performance, and stress testing, which include upload and download completion times, unreachable node scenarios, partially available files, configuring RAID on a file, load balancing, and user interface functionality. CVSMS consistently demonstrated the ability to carry out the described functions for both upload and download operations. The capability to configure file-based RAID on includes RAID 0 which is striping, RAID 1 which is mirroring and pRAID which is parity. In terms of load balancing, the system exhibits the capability to distribute files across nodes with larger storage capacities, effectively achieving an optimal resource allocation. For CVSMS, it is observed that there are trends on the completion time of both the upload and download functionalities, however the completion time will be affected by the following factors: the network speed, application processing speed, data reassembly or splitting, file size, and nature of the RAID. Hence, it is concluded that CVSMS shows some potential in relation to developing a centralized virtual management system.
