在數位化的時代，人們使用數位化的方式來儲存它們的資料在本地
或遠端的儲存設備上，隨著對於儲存要求的快速成長，傳統的儲存技術
開始不敷使用，因此，有著集中控制器的軟體定義儲存對於處理這些資
料要求而言，變成一個不錯的選擇，雖然目前有些研究和服務已經開始
利用軟體定義儲存所帶來的一些好處，但在這些研究和服務中，對於如
何建置多層資料容錯機制來去滿足不同階層的容錯需求上較少被提到，
除此之外，運用兩個或多個資料容錯機制在同一個硬碟組上會有一些問
題，且效能不好，為了去解決以上這些情況，本研究配合一些節能的方
法來去使多層資料容錯機制能夠建置在單一硬碟組中，一系列的實驗顯
示，跟原有架構相比，我們提出的方法能夠有效地降低儲存系統的能源
消耗。

In the era of digitalization, people store their data digitally on local or remote storage. With the rapid growth of storage demands, traditional storage techniques are considered inefficient. Therefore, Software Defined Storage (SDS) become a viable option since it includes a centralized controller to process data requirements. Although studies and services has been proposed and implemented to exploit the benefit bought by SDS, there is little discussion on how to enable multilevel data fault tolerance on SDS to satisfy different level of fault tolerance requirement. In addition, applying two or more data fault tolerance mechanisms on a same disk group could be problematic and not energy efficient. To address above issues, this study enables multilevel data fault tolerance on a single disk group with energy-efficient considerations. A series of experiments show that the proposed scheme could reduce the storage system energy consumption significantly when compared with the original architecture.
