Abstract

Server as the core of the information systems in today's business operations playing a pivotal role, data storage on server is becoming the lifeline to maintain the normal operation of the millions of businesses and organizations. Correct choice of independent control of the server or cluster systems and storage devices can improve system performance and operational capabilities. The user request rate and response time of business server data storage system are dependent on the selection of the storage devices. These devices can greatly affect system performance. To effectively protect data and give linear performance for iSCSI initiator, it is required to modify the iSCSI target driver to provide Gluster file system backend storage as distributed block device. This paper aims at discussing ways of modifying iSCSI Target (ISTGT) driver to support Gluster file system.
