What is distributed data storage?

Distributed storage is a data storage technology, which uses the disk space on every machine in the enterprise through the network. These scattered storage resources constitute a virtual storage device, and the data is distributed and stored in every corner of the enterprise.

Distributed storage system, which can distribute data on multiple independent devices. Traditional network storage systems use centralized storage servers to store all data. Storage server has become the bottleneck of system performance and the focus of reliability and security, which can not meet the needs of large-scale storage applications. Distributed network storage system adopts scalable architecture, uses multiple storage servers to share storage load, and uses location servers to locate and store information, which not only improves the reliability, availability and access efficiency of the system, but also is easy to expand.
