Abstract
A modular data storage system uses CPU blades to communicate with remote clients to function as a file server to those clients. The files are store on solid-state data storage blades using, e.g., flash memory. A crossbar switch connects the CPU blades and the data storage blades. The system can provide access time, power consumption, reliability, maintainability, and other advantages over prior art file servers using disk shelves.
