  • Publication number: 20100287408
    Abstract: There are provided a mass storage system and a method of operating thereof. The method comprises: a) dividing the storage space into a first portion configured to be available to a client and a second portion configured to be unavailable to a client, thus giving rise, respectively to an available storage space and a spare storage space; b) distributing the available space and the spare space over the disk drives thus giving rise to available space and spare space allocated to each given disk drive; c) detecting underperformance of at least one disk drive among the plurality of disk drives; d) responsive to detecting underperformance, decreasing respective available space allocated to said at least one underperforming disk drive and respectively increasing spare space allocated to said at least one underperforming disk drive thus giving rise to a re-configured allocation of the available space; and e) transferring the stored data in accordance with said re-configured allocation of the available space.

  • Publication number: 20100049919
    Abstract: There is provided a SAS grid storage system and a method of operating thereof. The system comprises a) a storage control grid comprising a plurality of interconnected data servers operable in accordance with at least one SAS protocol and b) a plurality of disk units adapted to store data at respective ranges of logical block addresses (LBAs), said addresses constituting an entire address space. Each disk unit comprises at least one input/output (IO) module comprising at least one internal SAS expander configured as a target with regard to the storage control grid. The plurality of disk units is operatively connected to the storage control grid in a manner enabling to each data server comprised in the storage control grid an access to each disk unit among the plurality of disk units.
