Specialization in Distributed Systems and Services, 380hs. Not finished.

1996-2004

Licenciate degree in Computer Science, Facultad de Matemática, Astronomía y Física, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Capstone Project: «Trieste: A distributed filesystem».

Abstract:

Most network instalations use centralized network filesystems, and some even use peer-to-peer ones. Centralized filesystems don't use the resources in the client machines, and peer-to-peer ones are not transparent enough and are not easy to administrate. We designed and implemented a fault-tolerant, easy to administrate distributed filesystem, which can add storage space easily. Trieste showed to be greatly scalable, using disk bandwidth and space of each added computer. Its features makes it suitable for clusters.
