  abstract = {The paper studies different schemes to enhance the reliability,
  availability and security of a high performance distributed storage system.
  We have previously designed a distributed parallel storage system that
  employs the aggregate bandwidth of multiple data servers connected by a high
  speed wide area network to achieve scalability and high data throughput. The
  general approach of the paper employs erasure error correcting codes to add
  data redundancy that can be used to retrieve missing information caused by
  hardware, software, or human faults. The paper suggests techniques for
  reducing the communication and computation overhead incurred while retrieving
  missing data blocks form redundant information. These techniques include
  clustering, multidimensional coding, and the full two dimensional parity
  scheme.}
