Storage Systems

[Open soon]

Work description

The work plan for this scholarship includes the following main activities: - Research and development of tiering mechanisms for data replication and checkpointing: design and implementation of new mechanisms that can leverage various storage media to ensure data durability and recovery. - Solution automation: study of techniques that enable the automatic configuration and optimization of the aforementioned techniques, for example, through the use of artificial intelligence. - Experimental evaluation: validation of the developed features through experimental testing, assessing the performance and efficiency of the developed techniques in comparison with existing approaches.

Academic Qualifications

- MSc Degree in Informatics Engineering.
