| Research Abstract |
We have proposed a number of approaches to reduce power consumption of storage systems by controlling data placement and access methods. One approach decreases the frequency of spin-up and spin-down operations of HDD by using backup data to reduce HDD power consumption effectively as well as to keep the reliability of the storage system. Another approach places primary data for the high gear configuration to reduce migrated data in gear shift for balancing power consumption and performance of the storage system. We evaluated these methods and other many methods including XML retrievals through simulation and using real hardware, and demonstrated their effectiveness. Corresponding research papers were accepted well-known high competitive international conferences and journals. Since these methods are practical and applicable to many real situations, many ripple effects for both the cost down of IT system operation and earth environment can be expected.
