Techniques for distributed storage aggregation

摘要

Techniques for distributed storage aggregation are presented. A storage aggregation server interacts over a network with a plurality of contributing servers to organize and partition excess storage on each of the contributing servers as a logical Random Array of Independent Disks (RAID). Network resource can process Input/Output (I/O) operations over the network against the RAID using an Internet Small Computers Systems Interface (iSCSI) protocol.
