Access Time Estimation for Tertiary Storage Systems

We propose two approaches for estimating the Tertiary Storage System access time: open approach and gray-box approach. In the first case the source code of the storage system is available, so changes in the code are made by adding event reporting functions. In the second approach - the essential system information is accessible via its native tools only. In this paper we describe an implementation of the open approach for access time estimation. The second approach we have shortly described as our future work.
