Distributed File System | prof. Giovanni Chiola | ![]() |
The number of client and servers must increase without affecting performance, usability, and maintenance of the system. | ||
To satisfy this requirement servers must communicate only with a limited number of neighbors. | ||
Truly distributed, peer-to-peer (P2P) algorithms are needed. | ||
Heart-beat can be used to monitor correct system operation. | ||
Automatic repair procedures must be implemented to recover from detected, permanent partial failures. | ||
