Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device for scalable block data storage and retrieval uses content addressing. Data storage devices store data blocks, and are connected over a network to computing modules. The modules comprise control modules and data modules and carry out content addressing for both storage and retrieval. The network defines separate control paths via the control modules and data paths via the data modules.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A device for scalable block data storage and retrieval using content addressing, said content addressing comprising using said content to define an address in which to place said content, the device comprising data storage devices operative to store said blocks, the data storage devices being connected over a network to computing modules, the computing modules comprising at least one of control modules, at least one of routing modules, and at least one of dat…
