Erasure Codes for Storage Systems A Brief Primer J A M E S S . P L A N K James S. Plank received torage systems have grown to the point where failures are inevitable, his BS from Yale University and those who design systems must plan ahead so that precious data in 1988 and his PhD from S is not lost when failures occur. The core technology for protecting data Princeton University in 1993. from failures is erasure coding, which has a rich 50+ year history stemming He is a professor in the communication systems, and as such, can be confusing to the storage systems Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Tennessee, community. In this article, I present a primer on erasure coding as it applies to where he has been since 1993. His research storage systems, and I summarize some recent research on erasure coding. interests are in fault-tolerance, erasure Storage systems come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing that they all have in common is coding, storage systems, and distributed that components fail, and when a component fails, the storage system is doing the one thing computing. He is a past Associate Editor of it is not supposed to do: losing data. Failures are varied, from disk sectors becoming silently IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed corrupted, to entire disks or storage sites becoming unusable. The storage components them- Computing, and a member of the IEEE selves are protected from c
