Dynamic single node failure recovery in distributed storage systems by Itani, M.

“…The third extension is addressed by implementing variable fractional repetition codes which is shown to achieve significant cost reduction. The contributions of the paper are four fold: (i) generating an optimized block distribution scheme among the nodes of a given data center for fixed and variable size blocks; (ii) optimization of storage allocation under dynamic environments with data block arrivals; (iii) optimization of storage allocation with newly added storage nodes; and (iv) generating an effective block distribution scheme among the nodes by accounting for varying priorities among data blocks. …”
