Abstract

An embodiment of the invention relates to extensible storage equipment and a method and a device for constructing the same. The method includes: combining multiple modular component blocks to construct the extensible storage equipment, wherein each modular component block comprises one or multiple magnetic disk packages, and at least one of the modular component blocks comprises a storage processor which comprises an input-output processing unit; utilizing the input-output processing units in the modular component blocks to form a cluster; utilizing the cluster to process input or output I / O requests and metadata services from a host. The embodiment of the invention further provides corresponding computer program products.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of storage, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and computer program product for constructing an expandable storage device, and a storage device constructed according to the method. Background technique [0002] Traditional storage devices, such as storage arrays, are usually constructed with relatively limited scalability, and thus are usually only designed for predefined optimal usage scenarios. Such a construction method lacks flexibility. For example, different designs may be required for different usage scenarios, so users may need to purchase different products for different usage scenarios. This is not conducive to users reusing existing storage resources, and increases the cost of users. For manufacturers, constructing specific storage products for specific use scenarios also limits the scope of use of their products and increases their research and development costs. In ad...
