Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005015349A2] A server is embedded directly into a storage subsystem. When moving between the storage subsystem domain and the server domain, data copying is minimized. Data management functionality written for traditional servers is implemented within a stand-alone storage subsystem, generally without software changes to the ported subsystems. The hardware executing the storage subsystem and server subsystem can be implemented in a way that provides reduced latency, compared to traditional architectures, when communicating between the storage subsystem and the server subsystem. When using a plurality of clustered controllers, traditional load-balancing software can be used to provide scalability of server functions. One end-result is a storage system that provides a wide range of data management functionality, that supports a heterogeneous collection of clients, that can be quickly customized for specific applications, that easily leverages existing third party software, and that provides optimal performance.
