Abstract

This work presents HRaidTools, an on-line suite of tools for simulating Heterogeneous RAID systems, which includes tools such as a RAID-designer, an I/O synthetic workload generator, a friendly simulation launcher and results collector. This suite has been designed to reduce or even eliminate the errors in simulations produced by the humans and the problems arise when using the simulator in different environments. In addition, HRaidTools also includes an Adaptive Collaborative Work architecture based on profiles of social networks, which have been designed for handling and sharing simulation contents such as experiments, configurations, workloads, results and graphs while following the common hierarchies in research groups. Finally, this suite includes several heterogeneous data distribution policies and redundancy levels unavailable in current RAID simulators.
