CStorage: A cloud storage management system For USTC campus

Cloud Storage has been increasing in popularity recently due to per-use pricing and elastic scalability, providing a significant advantage over the typical acquisition and deployment of equipment that was previously required. The effect has been a shift to outsourcing of not only equipment setup, but also the ongoing IT administration of the resources as well. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of our cloud storage management system — CStorage system. Driven by conveniently integrate and manage the storage resources, we consolidated various file systems to expose a unified storage space for users, and made little differences for end-users, meanwhile, we designed a simple billing model to pursue an obvious bill for users.
