A storage node for a distributed object storage system, comprising a control board configured to receive a parameter for setting predetermined allowable temperature ranges through a serial port, and sending a signal through said serial port for indicating one or more of said measurements of temperatures lies outside said predetermined allowable ranges. The control board is further configured to receive a parameter for controlling the switching on or off the storage elements through said serial port by sending a signal through said serial port to indicate which storage elements is switched on or off.

Distributed object storage system comprising low power storage nodes

A device driver includes an aggregator aggregating data blocks into one or more container objects suited for storage in an object store; and a logger for maintaining in at least one log file for each data block an identification of a container object wherein the data block is stored with an identification of the location of the data block in the container object.

Device driver

Device driver for use in a data storage system

The invention concerns a distributed object storage system () that comprises a spreading module () which makes a selection of a number of storage elements () being larger or equal to a desired spreading width by means of a spreading policy that comprises rules for selecting storage elements () in function of a first hierarchy level identifier () and/or a second hierarchy level identifier ().

Hierarchical, distributed object storage system

The invention concerns a distributed object storage system () comprising a maintenance agent () instructing an encoding module () to disassemble a repair data object into a specific number of repair sub blocks, this specific number being equal to or greater than said number of missing sub blocks and less then the predetermined number of sub blocks during a regular storage operation.
