NDSS: A Named Data Storage System

NDSS (Named Data Storage System) is an architecture of distributed storage system which integrates local storage and networking with named data design. In traditional cloud and network storage system, local storage system and networking are separately designed. Storage data and network packet are encoded in different descriptions. NDSS is proposed to integrate the data description in both storage and network to reduce the overhead in data format transition and to provide new method for data operations. In this paper, the architecture and system design are proposed. Initial implementation design is also demonstrated based on Named Data Networking (NDN). The performance and functional comparison are conducted conceptually to show the advantages of NDSS.
