Understanding Erasure Coding in Storage Systems
Erasure Coding is a data storage technique that enhances fault tolerance by breaking files into chunks and generating additional pieces for reconstruction. This technology, exemplified by systems like Ceph, offers more robust data protection than traditional methods like RAID or replication. Erasure
