The lecture features three major topic areas:

• Distributed Databases and Distributed Transaction Systems, representing the "classic" foundations of distributed storage with full transactional support
  • Data Fragmentation
  • Distributed Query Processing
  • Distributed Transaction Processing
• P2P Systems, featuring ad-hoc distributed data storage in networks with unreliable peers
  • Unstructured P2P Networks
  • Distributed Hash Tables
  • Network Models
  • Content Provisioning Networks 
  • Durable P2P
• Cloud Storage, aiming at a fusion of the previous two concepts and providing highly scalable and reliable distributed storage solutions
  • Concepts of Cloud Storage
  • Amazon Dynamo
  • Google Bigtable
  • Cassandra 
  • Hadoop, HDF, and HBase
  • Cloud Computing
