Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Mobile platforms with access to high speed wireless network have become ubiquitous.
Advancements in network technology and consumer electronics have brought traditional storage systems into offices and homes.
Services based on cloud technologies, including object based storage, have gained popularity among both private users and enterprises.
However, there is still a lack of systematic evaluation of both traditional storage systems and cloud based object storage in a mobile and wireless context.

In this thesis, we evaluate the performance of three drastically different storage systems, namely NFS, iSCSI, and OpenStack Swift, which can potentially be used by mobile platforms over wireless network.
We build a testbed and an in house, ad hoc microbenchmark to study the impact of various network complexities and different access behaviours of application.
In addition, we employ two widely used macrobenchmarks - PostMark and FileBench - to simulate the workloads of typical applications.

We find that: (1) iSCSI excels in networks whose condition is as good as LAN; (2) NFS and Swift are more suitable for complex networks such as wireless network and WAN; (3) Swift is a viable replacement for NFS in all scenarios; and (4) System configuration on the client side impacts storage performance significantly and deserve adequate attention.
Furthermore, we make several recommendations to practitioners and point out numerous future research directions.
