Great work at FAST ’11

Great work at FAST ’11: "

After a quick scan of the paper titles I wasn’t impressed. But after seeing presentations and posters I am.

Here’s some I found interesting. I’ll be posting longer pieces on some of these.

• A Study of Practical Deduplication Full paper *Best Paper Winner*
• Tradeoffs in Scalable Data Routing for Deduplication Clusters Full paper
• Exploiting Half-Wits: Smarter Storage for Low-Power Devices Full paper
• Reliably Erasing Data from Flash-Based Solid State Drives Full paper
• Scale and Concurrency of GIGA+: File System Directories with Millions of Files Full paper
• Emulating Goliath Storage Systems with David Full paper *Best Paper Winner*

An excellent conference. NetApp, EMC, Microsoft and IBM were recruiting.

The StorageMojo take

We’re still learning about flash, and the research presented here is a substantial addition to our meager knowledge.

Microsoft tells me they’re delivering major improvements to NTFS and Windows Server later this year. I’m looking forward to that briefing.

And it’s always a pleasure catching up with the people who, for some reason, never come to Sedona.

Courteous comments welcome, as always.
