ABSTRACT:
A cluster network is provided in which the storage enclosures of the network are grouped into storage sets or columns of storage enclosures. Each server node of the cluster network is coupled to an interface of the storage enclosure of each of the storage sets. The storage enclosure within each set are coupled together to provide a redundant peer communications link between the server nodes.
