Network attached storage systems must provide highly available access to data while maintaining high performance, easy management, and maximum scalability. In this paper, we describe a clustered storage system that was designed with these goals in mind. The system provides a unified file system image across multiple nodes, which allows for simplified management of the system. Availability is preserved with multiple nodes and parity-striped dataacross these nodes. This architecture provides two key contributions: the ability to use low-cost components to deliver scalable performance and the flexibility to specify redundancyand performance policy management on a file-by-file basis. The file system is also tightly integrated with standard distributed file system protocols thereby allowing it to be used in existing networks without modifying clients.
