Performance Comparison and Analysis of RAID-6 Encoding and Scaling in Edge Computing Environments

In today's world where cloud computing is widely used, edge computing is starting to be used as a new type of data computing and management service. This paper first describes the importance of data reliability and storage fault tolerance for edge computing operating in multiple environments, and then focuses on RAID-6 to address the data storage requirements of edge computing. In this paper, the feasibility of RAID-6 for edge computing is discussed and two different RAID-6 coding algorithms are introduced. The better option for edge computing is explored through performance comparison. Among the two RAID-6 coding algorithms, it is considered that Row-Diagonal parity will be more suitable than EVENODD code for edge computing scenarios through comparison. But perhaps there are better coding algorithms with lower complexity that can again improve the performance of edge computing storage systems. An edge computing storage system using RAID-6 architecture would be very beneficial for a wide range of real-world application scenarios.
