Title
Adaptive Workload Balancing for Storage Management Applications in Multi Node Environments
Abstract
Cluster file systems provide access for multiple computing nodes to the same data via a storage area network with the same performance as a local drive. Such clusters allow applications distributed over multiple nodes to access storage via parallel data paths. Also storage management applications can take advantage of this parallelism by distributing the data transfers over multiple nodes. This paper presents an approach for client/server oriented backup solutions. The workload is distributed over multiple client nodes for successive backups to a storage repository server by an adaptive approach. An outlook is given how the method can be applied also for distributing workload of several clients to multiple servers.
