OCP Cold Storage Test-bed

open access: yesKIISE Transactions on Computing Practices, 2016
Cloud computing systems require a huge number of storage servers due to the growing implications of power bills, carbon emissions, and logistics of data centers. These considerations have motivated researchers to improve the energy efficiency of storage servers. Most servers use a lot of power irrespective of the amount of computing that they are doing,
