Abstract
We are now living in the era of big data. The large volume of data raises a lot of issues related to data storage and management, stimulating the emergence of Cloud storage. Unlike traditional storage systems such as SAN (Storage Area Network) and NAS (Network Attached Storage), Cloud storage is delivered over a network and has such features as easy to scale and easy to manage. With Cloud storage shielding complex technical details such as storage capacity, data location, data availability, reliability and security, users can then concentrate on their business rather than IT (Information Technology) system maintenance. However, it is not an easy task to develop a Cloud storage system because multiple factors are involved. In this chapter, the authors show their experience in the design and implementation of a Cloud storage system. They detail its key components, namely the distributed file system Carrier and the data sharing service Corsair. A case study is also given on its application at Tsinghua University.
