The book "Computer Storage" covers various aspects related to storage technologies, architecture, management, and optimization within computer systems. An overview of computer storage concepts, such as data representation, storage media types (such as magnetic, optical, and solid-state), and storage hierarchy, is given in the book introduction. In-depth instruction on storage technologies, including optical discs, magnetic tape, harddisc drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD) and newer technologies like Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) and Shingle Magnetic Recording (SMR) substance, Storage Area Networks (SAN), cloud storage, Network-Attached Storage (NAS), and Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) are some of the storage system architectures that are covered. Is the study of data organisation and access methods on storage devices, such as object, block, file, and database storage structures. Thin provisioning, data deduplication, snapshots, replication, and storage virtualization are all included in storage provisioning. Techniques for improving storage performance are discussed, including load balancing, caching, tiering, and RAID configurations. Included are data security techniques including encryption, access controls, disaster recovery, backup and recovery, and adherence to data privacy laws. Examine the newest developments in computer storage, including edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and the effects of AI and ML on storage infrastructure.
