Building Novel Network Storage System Based on Volume Holographic Device

摘要

In the past few years considerable demand has developed for oceanic data storage system that are able to store Petabytes data. Volume holographic recording has the potential to offer high density, fast data readout rate, and associative content addressable storage as compared with other conventional mass data storage technology. However, its total cost and size impedes to go into market. If the volume holographic device could join network and be shared by more and more customers, the average cost for each customer should be reduced On the other hand, the growing network storage technologies shake off the traditional storage architecture (DAS) limit including physical topologies and access mode, and provide high scalability, availability and flexible for storage system, moreover are widely applied to many fields. Obviously, it is valuable for building network storage device based on volume holographic. In this paper, we design the architecture and relative software of volume holographic device to enable common storage network, which can support the SAN based on Fibre channel and iSCSI. Our experiment shows the HSD (Holographic Storage Device) has excellent performance for network storage.
