Issues in the Architecture of a Document Archiver using Optical Disk Technology

Abstract

We present issues related to the architccturc of a document archivcr using optical disk technology. In parttcular we examine the problems of data placement in the optical disk, storage hierarchies, data duplication and version control. Simulation results and analytical results are presented. These results are used to analyxe the effect of various design decisions on the pcrformancc of such a system. © 1985, ACM. All rights reserved.
