ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a scalable, highly available distributed network data storage system that efficiently and reliably provides network clients and application servers with access to large data stores, such as NAS units, and manages client and server requests for data from the data stores, thereby comprising a distributed storage manager. A storage manager constructed in accordance with the invention can receive and process network requests for data at a large, aggregated network data store, such as a collection of NAS units, and can manage data traffic between the network clients and NAS units.
