Abstract

Modern network attached storage architectures suffer from poor performance, resource management and inflexibility. We examine the problems of current architectures and propose an alternative, built around the precept of doing network storage at user-level. We further examine some of the challenges associated with this unusual approach and provide some preliminary block layer results indicating our architecture results in better performance than current designs
