The influence of scale on distributed file system design
1992
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
Scale should be recognized as a primary factor influencing the architecture and implementation of distributed systems. This paper uses Andrew and Coda, distributed file systems built at Carnegie Mellon University, to validate this proposition. Performance, operability, and security are dominant considerations in the design of these systems. Availability is a further consideration in the design of Coda. Client caching, bulk data transfer, token-based mutual authentication, and hierarchical
