Abstract Cloud data workloads require both high capacity at low cost and access rates. Hard Disk Drives are the dominant media in this application as they cost, however, Drive technology is seeing declining rates a slowdown scaling. Holographic storage could disrupt cloud since it may offer However, challenge with rewritable holographic durability due to erasure. Here we present workload aware energy optimization framework show that erasure can be managed. We investigated optimal Fe...
Holographic Storage is an old idea that has always promised high density and fast random access, but never been commercially competitive with Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) Solid State Devices (SSDs). In Project HSD at Microsoft Research we asked the question: “Does holographic storage finally make sense for cloud storage?” This paper describes our journey towards answering this question. We achieved 1.8x higher than previous state of art, using commodity components available today leveraging...
