Abstract

The Babel File System is a dependable, scalable and flexible storage system. Among its main features we underline the availability of different types of data redundancy, a careful decoupling between data and metadata, a middleware that enforces metadata consistency, and its own load-balance and allocation procedure which adapts to the number and capacities of the supporting storage devices. It can be deployed over different hardware platforms, including commodity hardware. Our proposal has been designed to allow developers to settle a trade-off between price and performance, depending on their particular applications.
