Abstract :
This paper presents a unique storage architecture that utilizes the multiplicity of storage nodes in LAN and WAN network environments to achieve high reliability, high-performance, scalability, and cost effectiveness. The paper discusses the NetSTOR engine as a storage framework that can be utilized and tuned by its applications. The paper presents performance evaluation results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the NetSTOR approach in achieving better response time, higher overall system throughput and perfect scalability.
