According to one embodiment, a computer storage system includes one or more redundant storage servers coupled to one or more cache servers. A redundant storage server is coupled to each disk server. A disk server comprises at least one mass storage disk operable to store data. The data is segmented according to logical blocks, where each logical block has an associated logical block identifier. The redundant storage servers are operable to replicate each logical block of at least two of the disk servers. The cache servers comprise a cache memory and are coupled to each redundant storage server. Each cache server is operable to access the replicated logical blocks according to the associated logical block identifiers, and cache, in the cache memory, the replicated logical block according to the associated logical block identifier. |
