Abstract
A searchable data storage system is described herein. The storage system includes zones that are independent, and autonomous from each other. The zones include nodes that are independent and autonomous. The nodes include storage devices. When a data item is stored, a local database is updated with information about the newly stored data item. When a search for a data item meeting certain metadata criteria is received, multiple concurrent searches are conducted across all storage devices in all nodes in all zones of the storage system. The configuration of the data storage system allows a parallel concurrent search at constituent storage devices to be performed quickly.
