Abstract
A data storage system includes a rack, multiple head nodes, multiple data storage sleds, and at least two networking devices. The at least two network devices are configured to implement at least two redundant networks within the data storage system. Also, each of the head nodes is assigned at least two network addresses for communication with the data storage sleds of the data storage system via the at least two networking devices. The data storage sleds each include multiple mass storage devices and a sled controller that is configured to couple with the at least two network switches. In some embodiments, the data storage system further includes redundant power systems within a rack in which the head nodes, the data storage sleds, and the at least two networking devices are mounted.
