The object of the invention is to provide a data storage device which is extremely effective, scalable, and with fast access to the data. At least two front components (1-1') participate therein, wherebetween a plurality of nodes (2-2'-2"....2n) are connected in parallel by means of an Infiniband (IB) network (3), so that each front component incorporates a series of internal (4) being and external (5) channels, with the internal channels responsible for providing access to the nodes (2-2'-2"....2n), which will all of them be of Infiniband (IB)-type at different speeds 40/56/100 Gbits/s, and the external channels (5) provide the connectivity with the clients may be materialized in Ethernet channels at different speeds 1/10/40 Gbits/s, Fiber Channel (FC) channels or Infiniband channels at different speeds 40/56/100 Gbits/s. The nodes (2) are materialized in a grouping of data storage disks (6) interconnected by an Infiniband (IB)-type network. |
