whitepaper Consistency Rationing in the Cloud: Pay Only When It Matters2009-08-28 Association for Computing Machinery
  Cloud storage solutions promise high scalability and low cost. Existing solutions, however, differ in the degree of consistency they provide. Its experience using such systems indicates that there is a non-trivial trade-off between cost, consistency and availability. High consistency implies high cost per transaction and, in some situations, reduced availability. Low consistency is cheaper but it might result in higher operational cost because of, e.g., overselling of products in a Web shop.

whitepaper Supporting Cloud Computing With the Virtual Block Store System2009-08-27 Indiana University
  The fast development of cloud computing systems stimulate the needs for a standalone block storage system, which can provide persistent block storage services to the virtual machines maintained by the clouds. This paper presents the Virtual Block Store (VBS) System, a standalone block storage system built on the basis of LVM, iSCSI, and Xen hypervisor, which can provide basic block storage services such as volume creation and attachment. The concept and functional interface of VBS are based on the Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) service; moreover, VBS can be used independently with an existing volume server and Xen nodes, and can be easily extended to support other virtual machine managers, or integrated with various cloud computing systems.
