            Abstract : 
The present paper shows a performance test we have done to study the viability of a solution to build storage clouds using NBD (Network Block Device) and RAID technologies. This solution can be used both by providers and consumers of cloud storage services to exploit their distributed features, building and consuming high-capacity and fault-tolerant distributed storage systems.
