Abstract
A computing device writes data across storage devices in an erasure-coded system. The computing device computes data blocks and parity blocks from data and computes a portion of the data to be stored in the system. The computing is performed by one or more controllers included in a redundant array of an independent disks controller. The computing device provides the locations of the data blocks and the parity blocks in storage devices of an erasure-coded system. The location is determined using one or more placement nodes. The placement nodes are configured for managing placement schemes of data blocks and parity blocks on the storage devices.
