Abstract

See full text

A data storage system comprising a matrix of intelligent storage nodes interconnected to communicate with each other via a network of busses. The network of busses includes a plurality of first busses for conducting data from and to a corresponding plurality of host system processors and a plurality of second busses, each one of the second busses intersecting with each one of the first busses. The nodes are located at each intersection. The storage nodes each include a data storage device, such as a magnetic disk drive unit, a processor and buffer memory, whereby the node processor controls the storage and retrieval of data at the node as well as being capable of coordinating the storage and retrieval of data at other nodes within the network.
