About

Ilias Iliadis is a leading researcher in data storage systems, with a primary focus on the performance evaluation of tape library systems. His work addresses the critical challenge of cost-effectively managing the exponential growth of data, demonstrating that magnetic tape remains a superior, low-energy alternative to hard disk drives and flash for infrequently accessed data. His most-cited paper, "Performance evaluation of tape library systems" (2022, 6 citations), along with his earlier study "Performance Evaluation of Automated Tape Library Systems" (2021, 3 citations), provides foundational models for assessing the throughput and efficiency of tape-based archival storage. By quantifying the trade-offs between access time, energy consumption, and cost, Iliadis has helped validate tape’s role in modern data centers, particularly for cold storage and long-term retention. His work is essential for researchers and engineers designing scalable, sustainable storage architectures, offering rigorous analytical frameworks that bridge theory and real-world deployment.
