HBA: Distributed Metadata Management for
Large Cluster-Based Storage Systems
INTRODUCTION
The rapid advances in general-purpose communication networks have motivated the deployment of inexpensive
components to build competitive cluster-based storage
solutions to meet the increasing demand of scalable
computing. by aggregating existing storage resources on each commodity PC in
a computing cluster, a large and cost effective system can be implemented for high-performance storage devices. A part has been attributed to the bandwidth of these networks increasing by two
orders of magnitude. The challenge is that there must be huge number
of nodes (in thousands) in such a cluster.
ARCHITECTURAL CONSIDERATIONS DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES
In the article what ia considered is only the networks containing a number
of commodity PCs are connected by a high-bandwidth low-
latency switched network. There are no functional differences between all
achieved
cluster nodes. A node may not be dedicated to
a specific role or it may act in multiple tasks.
