Fuzzy Reliability of an iSCSI-based Disk Array System
Minghua Jiang, Jingli Zhou, Ming Yan Hu · Journal of Communication and Computer · 2007
iSCSI is a newly emerging protocol with the goal of implementing the storage area network (SAN) technology over TCP/IP, which brings economy and convenience whereas it also raises performance and reliability issues. This paper presents a implementation of iSCSI-based disk array system, and then analyzed the reliability of this system by combination of fuzzy logic and Markov modeling. This reliability method is a technique for analyzing fault tolerant designs under considerable uncertainty, such as is seen in compilations of component failure rates, the presented model provides the estimation of the lower and upper boundary of iSCSI-based disk array system with a single run of the model.
