The Storage Systems Research Center is part of the Jack Baskin School of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Composed of faculty from the Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering departments, our research focuses on many aspects of file and storage systems. We have active projects in archival storage, scalable distributed indexing, large-scale distributed storage systems, file systems for next-generation storage devices, and data deduplication. We also have particular focus in cross-cutting issues such as security and reliability in file and storage systems.
