As applications and services migrate into the cloud, new challenges arise in building robust and high performance services to support them. In this talk, I will focus on a new generation of "software-defined" storage systems that are being built in the cloud, and discuss the many technical challenges that dot this landscape. I will present numerous case studies of new problems that arise in storage systems built for the cloud, and highlight some possible research directions aimed at surmounting the main issues to deliver reliable and performant systems to\ end users and applications.
Bio: Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau is a full professor in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He received his B.S. from the University of Michigan (the other "UM") and M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley under advisor David Patterson. Remzi co-leads a research group with his wife Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau; together with their students they have won numerous best paper awards and still hold the Datamation world record in external sorting. Remzi also cares deeply about education, and has won the SACM Student Choice Professor of the Year award four times and the Carolyn Rosner "Excellent Educator" award for his efforts in teaching operating systems to both undergraduate and graduate students. Remzi is an active participant in the systems community, having served on numerous program committees, as well as co-chair of the USENIX ATC in 2004, FAST in 2007, and OSDI in 2010. His current research focuses on building the next generation of cloud-based storage systems.
