Abstract
The cost of managing storage systems has become one of the significant expense items in data centers. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of Flipstone, a new storage system with reduced storage management cost. Flipstone provides fail-in-place and deferred maintenance by aggregating large number of off-the-shelf, inexpensive storage systems. We show a significant improvement in total cost of ownership of storage systems by reducing the number of service calls when Flipstone is used.
