smacwan@prism.poly.edu (sanjay macwan) (04/09/91)

Hello everyone!

I am a grad student in CS.  I need some info regarding RAID (redundent array
of inexpensive disks), data declustering and disk synchronization.  If any
one out there have any experience (research, academic or industry) with
implementing these concepts in multiple-disk I/O subsystems please kindly
forward some info to me.  I like to know : phisycal limitations on
implementing such systems, practical appl. of such systems, advantages - 
disadvantages, cost/performance evaluation, current technologies employing
these techniques etc.  Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Since I do not read this newsgroup frequently, may I ask you to kindly send me 
the info through e-mail?  My e-mail address is SMACWAN@PRISM.POLY.EDU .

If any info is used in the paper I am working on then proper credit will be
given (i.e your name, organization will be mentioned as a bibliography, and
in the acknowledgement of the paper). 

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,


Sanjay Macwan
