SkyMin: A Massive Peer-to-Peer Storage System

Abstract:

The aim of the project SkyMin is to design a large-scale, Internetbased storage system providing scalability, high availability, persistence and security. Every node serves as an access point for clients. Nodes are not trusted; they may join the system at any time and may silently leave the system without warning. Yet, the system is able to provide strong assurance, efficient storage access, load balancing and scalability. Our approach to construct a massive storage file system on Internet is to implement a layer on top of existing heterogeneous file systems. The architecture is as follows: it consists of lots of FS (File Server) and one or some NS (Name Server). NS is the control center. Users can access the file system from every node.
