Abstract :
There is a trend in institutions with high-performance computing and data management requirements to explore mass storage systems with peripherals directly attached to a high-speed network. The Distributed Mass Storage System (DMSS) Project at the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) has placed such a system into production use. This paper describes the DMSS system and relates experiences from production use
