Abstract :
With the dramatic shift towards distributed computing, and its associated client-server model of computation, storage facilities are now found attached to file servers and distributed throughout the network. The paper discusses the underlying technology trends that are leading to high performance network-based storage, namely advances in networks, storage devices, and I/O controller and server architectures. It describes a research prototype, developed at Berkeley, that takes a new approach to high performance computing based on network-attached storage
