TITLE:
Interfaces & Architectures for Storage - The Changing Landscape

SPEAKER:
Erik Riedel
Interfaces & Architecture
Seagate Research

ABSTRACT:
This talk will overview current work in the storage systems research
group at Seagate Research. This is a new group formed six months ago
with a charter to expand the intelligence of storage devices. We will
outline the goals of our research, and discuss initial projects just
getting underway. One of the key enablers for additional device
intelligence is a change in the interfaces for talking to storage, and
we will also briefly outline one current industry proposal -
object-based storage devices - for greatly expanding the SCSI interface
that has provided valiant service for the last 20 years.

Seagate Research is a young organization with an ambitious charter - to
develop the storage technologies that will carry the company and the
industry 5-10 years in the future. The lab has grown from two people in
a rented office to 100 researchers in a brand-new building over the past
four years. In addition to details about the systems efforts, the talk
will also briefly mention ongoing projects in other parts of the lab.

BIOGRAPHY:
Erik Riedel leads the Interfaces & Architecture Department at Seagate
Research in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The group focuses on novel
storage systems with increased intelligence for optimized performance,
automated management, and content-specific optimizations. A basic
requirement for such systems is new interfaces to storage systems as the
current ones are quite outdated.

Before joining Seagate Research, he was a researcher in the storage
program at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California working
on networked and distributed storage and security for storage. He
received a doctorate in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon
University working with David Nagle and Garth Gibson in the Parallel
Data Lab (PDL) and Christos Faloutsos in the Center for Automated
Learning and Discovery (CALD). His thesis work was on Active Disks as
an extension to Network-Attached Secure Disks (NASD). Over the years he
has spent time looking at I/O in a number of areas, including parallel
apps, data mining, database, file systems, and scientific data
processing.
