Vish Jumani, Pamela Drew · Journal of the Magnetics Society of Japan · 1997
The Boeing Company's changing business process and application environments are placing pressure on the systems people to provide integrated systems solutions that will fulfill storage, processing, data management and performance requirements. The delivery systems requirements to support Boeing applications provide a backdrop for the systems issues that are being addressed in this paper. A storage solution -on-line, near-line, and off-line - has become a major concern. A solution to the management of data and mass storage is becoming one of the "grand challenges" facing the computer industry and systems integrators and architects today. This paper addresses the mass storage information management and related issues.
