Abstract: Abstract The success of a CDI Grid is dependent upon the design of its storage infrastructure. As seen in Chapter 7, processing in this environment revolves around the simultaneous movement and transformation of data on many compute elements. Effective storage solutions combine hardware and software to meet these needs. The storage hardware selected must provide enough raw throughput for the expected workloads. Typical storage hardware architectures also often provide some redundancy to help in creating a fault tolerant system. Storage software, specifically file systems, must organize this storage hardware into a single logical space, provide efficient mechanisms for accessing that space, and hide common hardware failures from compute elements.
