Modern cloud computing is rapidly changing from traditional hypervisor-based virtual machines to container-based cloud-native environments. Due to limitations in I/O performance required for both virtual machines and containers, the use of high-speed storage (SSD, NVMe, etc.) is increasing, and in-memory computing using main memory is also emerging. Running a virtual environment on main memory gives better performance compared to other storage arrays. However, RAM used as main memory is expensive and due to its volatile characteristics, data is lost when the system goes down. Therefore, additional work is required to run the virtual environment in main memory. In this paper, we propose a hybrid in-memory storage that combines a block storage such as a high-speed SSD with main memory to safely operate virtual machines and containers on main memory. In addition, the proposed storage showed 6 times faster write speed and 42 times faster read operation compared to regular disks for virtual machines, and showed the average 12% improvement of container's performance tests.

Virtual machine technology enables multiple hosts to share the same LUN(Logical Unit Number) and the same storage, but if too many hosts share the same LUN, it will increase the delay. In this paper we propose a performance model, get several values of scalable storage performance in virtual environment, and present the results examined the effects of I/O queuing in a virtual infrastructure. This results show how to make the most effective use of our storage resources.

Recently, with the enlargement of cloud computing, virtual desktop infrastructure(VDI) can be an alternative of the existing personal computer based information environment. For the case of partially introduced VDI coexisting with personal computer environment, we suggest a virtual folder based approach to control the overall digital contents within an organization with a case of implementation. Although a centralizing device was used for storage and sharing of organization's digital contents, it was not easy to accomplish centralizing digital contents completely. It is tried to prevent users from utilizing their own storage in their personal computers or virtual machines and to use virtual folder which transfer and store digital contents to and in EDMS. The virtual folder system of this paper looks like a real folder in a personal computer, but it is another virtual device for outer storage devices including EDMS. It can be an alternative and reference of digital contents control for future applications of cloud computing.

클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 가상 컴퓨팅 및 스토리지 자원에 대한 요구가 대규모로 증가하면서 스토리지 시스템에서는 스토리지 공간을 효율적으로 절감하고 활용할 수 있는 중복제거 기법을 적용하고 있다. 특히 가상 데스크탑 인프라 환경에서 가상 데스크탑 이미지들에 대해 동일한 데이터가 중복되어 저장되는 것을 방지함으로써 스토리지 공간을 절감하는데 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 안정적인 가상 데스크탑 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 중복제거로 인한 가상 데스크탑의 성능 오버헤드와 주기적으로 발생하는 데이터 입출력 폭증, 그리고 빈번한 랜덤 입출력 동작과 같은 가상 데스크탑이 가지고 있는 특이한 워크로드를 효과적으로 처리할 수 있는 스토리지 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 가상 데스크탑 및 스토리지 서비스를 지원하기 위해 개발된 클러스터 파일 시스템을 제시한다. 여기에서는 가상 데스크탑 이미지들에서 중복된 데이터가 스토리지에 저장되기 이전에 실시간으로 검출하고 제거하는 인라인 데이터 중복제거 기법을 통해 스토리지 공간을 절감한다. 또한 가상 데스크탑 이미지에 대한 중복제거 처리를 가상 호스트가 아니라 가상 데스크탑 이미지가 실제로 저장되는 데이터 서버에서 수행함으로써 중복제거 처리로 인한 가상 데스크탑의 성능 오버헤드를 줄인다.

최근 디지털 데이터의 양이 급격하게 증가함에 따라 대용량 저장 공간의 필요해지고 있다. RAID는 이러한 대용량 저장 공간을 관리할 수 있는 시스템이다. Windows에서 제공하는 저장소 공간은 소프트웨어 RAID의 일종이다. 저장소 공간은 Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 버전부터 지원되었으며 해당 기능에 대한 분석이 기존에 이루어져 있지 않다. 저장소 공간을 이용한 시스템을 분석하기 위해서는 저장소 공간 기능에 대한 분석과 가상 디스크 재구성 방법에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 RAID의 레이아웃에 대해 간단히 설명하고 소프트웨어 RAID인 저장소 공간의 구성 방식과 메타데이터를 설명하고 구성 방식별로 가상 디스크의 재구성 방법을 제시하고 실험을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

Most of current watermarking algorithms for GIS vector data embed copyright information by means of modifying the coordinate values, which will do harm to its quality and accuracy. To preserve the fidelity of vector line data and protect its copyright at the same time, a lossless watermarking algorithm is proposed based on storage feature in this paper. Firstly, the superiority of embedding watermark based on storage feature is demonstrated theoretically and technically. Then, the basic concepts and operations on storage feature have been defined including length and angle of the polyline feature. In the process of embedding watermark, the watermark information is embedded into directions of polyline feature by the quantitative mechanism, while the positions of embedding watermark are determined by the feature length. Hence, the watermark can be extracted by the same geometric features without original data or watermark. Finally, experiments have been conducted to show that coordinate values remain unchanged after embedding watermark. Moreover, experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

In digital pathology, an electronic system in the biomedical domain storage of the files is a big constrain and because all the analysis and annotation takes place at every user-end manually, it becomes even harder to manage the data that is being shared inside an enterprise. Therefore, we need such a storage system which is not only big enough to store all the data but also manage it and making communication of that data much easier without losing its true from. A virtual server setup is one of those techniques which can solve this issue. We set a main server which is the main storage for all the virtual machines(that are being used at user-end) and that main server is controlled through a hypervisor so that if we want to make changes in storage overall or the main server in itself, it could be reached remotely from anywhere by just using the server's IP address. The server in our case includes XML-RPC based API which are transmitted between computers using HTTP protocol. JAVA API connects to HTTP/HTTPS protocol through JAVA Runtime Environment and exists on top of other SDK web services for the productivity boost of the running application. To manage the server easily, we use Tkinter library to develop the GUI and pmw magawidgets library which is also utilized through Tkinter. For managing, monitoring and performing operations on virtual machines, we use Python binding to XML-RPC based API. After all these settings, we approach to make the system user friendly by making GUI of the main server. Using that GUI, user can perform administrative functions like restart, suspend or resume a virtual machine. They can also logon to the slave host of the pool in case of emergency and if needed, they can also filter virtual machine by the host. Network monitoring can be performed on multiple virtual machines at same time in order to detect any loss of network connectivity.

In this research, we create a network infrastructure based on a service-oriented infrastructure (SOI) for the virtualization technology and integrate it with a cloud technology that applies the cloud integration management platform (CIMP) concept. In CIMP, the server and storage will be separated. The server will be adopted for virtualization while the storage will be used by students and teachers to store data. As long they save their data in the storage module, every time, everywhere, and on every device, they can access their data. This research will implement the design of the network infrastructure and be applied to the remote practical learning system in the laboratory. Students and teachers will ultimately adopt this network infrastructure for remote practice using their respective devices without physically meeting in the laboratory. In the future, if the implementation phase is successful, then in addition to laboratory environments, it can be implemented in all learning activities at our campus.

This paper proposes a virtual storage system for smart home/office embedded devices by utilizing AoE and HyperSCSI protocols. It relies on current Ethernet infrastructures and aims to provide a low-cost solution for the storage limitation problem on embedded devices. We choose AoE (ATA over Ethernet) and HyperSCSI in our implementation because they are relatively lightweight compared to other network storage protocols such as NFS(Network File System), CIFS(Common Internet File System) and iSCSI(internet Small Computer System Interface). The design and architecture of our proposed virtual system as well as the prototype demonstration are presented in this paper.
