Part 1 The data storage and management problem: growth in data volumes; advances in storage technologies; economics of data storage; applications requiring mass storage; mass storage market; IEEE MSS reference model. Part 2 Static and dynamic storage hierarchies: concepts of hierarchical storage; feedback control in a storage hierarchy; review of virtual memory systems; extensions to the disk / tape hierarchy; dynamic hierarchy; economics of storage hierarchies. Part 3 Types of mass storage systems: virtual disk; networked virtual disk; file server; file archive; backup server; network attached peripherals. Part 4 Component technologies: magnetic disk; magnetic disk arrays; helical scan tapes; robotic storage libraries; network interfaces; storage management software; control computer; integration and test; system performance. Part 5 High-performance mass storage systems: market for high-performance systems; environment for a high-performance system; cost and technical justifications; design and construction; production usage; cost savings; growth planning; technology and cost matrix. Part 6 Mass storage for local area networks: market for LAN mass storage servers; environment for a LAN mass storage server; cost and technical justifications; production usage; cost savings; growth planning; technology and cost matrix.
