Abstract
A system and method employs one or more clients of a virtualized compute cluster as an execution engine for a portion of a storage operating system implemented as a virtual machine on a storage system node of a storage system cluster. If there is processing bandwidth of a client that is not fully utilized and the load on the storage system node is high, the portion of the storage operating system is ported to the client of the compute cluster in a manner that externally distributes the storage architecture from the storage system cluster. Advantageously, the processing performance of the storage system cluster is improved by, among other things, offloading some of the network processing load from the storage system node.
