Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data storage, and in particular to a distributed data storage system and method. Background Art

[0002] Distributed storage system is to store data in multiple independent devices. Traditional network storage system uses centralized storage server to store all data. Storage server becomes the bottleneck of system performance and the focus of reliability and security, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale storage applications. Distributed network storage system adopts scalable system structure, uses multiple storage servers to share storage load, and uses location server to locate storage information. It not only improves the reliability, availability and access efficiency of the system, but also makes it easy to expand.

[0003] When building a storage system, it is necessary to consider cost and performance. Therefore, the storage system usually uses multiple layers of storage devices with different cost performance to form a storage hierarchy. Under the premise of ensuring system performance, the system energy consumption and construction cost can be reduced. From the perspective of reducing costs, cold data with low access frequency can be migrated to low-speed and cheap storage devices. For this reason, a distributed data storage system and method are proposed, which can adjust the distributed storage cabinets so that the storage cost of data storage cabinets with different access frequencies can be changed. When storing data with low access frequency, the heat dissipation consumption can be reduced simultaneously, and the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved when storing data with high access frequency, thereby effectively reducing the operating cost of distributed data storage, and the data storage cabinet is easy to transport, move and install, and is easy to operate and use. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a distributed data storage system and method, which solves the problems raised by the above-mentioned existing background technology. The distributed storage cabinets can be adjusted so that the storage cost of data storage cabinets with different access frequencies can be changed. When storing data with low access frequency, the heat dissipation consumption can be reduced simultaneously, and when storing data with high access frequency, the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved, thereby effectively reducing the operating cost of distributed data storage. The data storage cabinets are easy to transport, move and install, and are easy to operate and use.

[0005] The solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: a distributed data storage system and method, including a data cabinet base, a data storage cabinet body, and a data storage server, the inner wall of the data storage cabinet body is evenly fixedly installed with a support plate, the data storage server is placed on the top of the support plate, and a filter box is inserted into the bottom of the support plate, the data storage cabinet body is provided with a shutter, the bottom of the data storage cabinet body is fixedly installed with moving wheels near the four corners, multiple groups of support plates are evenly fixedly installed with separate cooling fans, the top of the data storage cabinet body is fixedly installed with an exhaust hood, the data cabinet base is evenly fixedly installed with a positioning plate, the positioning plate is penetrated and connected with an installation anchor rod, the outer wall of the data storage cabinet body is evenly fixedly installed with a connecting plate, the data storage cabinet body is provided with a cabinet door, the data storage cabinet body can be installed on the top of the data cabinet base by screws, and the top of the data storage cabinet body is fixedly installed with an exhaust fan; The method of use includes the following steps: S1: The base of the data cabinet is evenly provided with positioning plates, and the installation anchor rod can pass through the positioning plates to install the base of the data cabinet in the data room. The bottom of the data storage cabinet is evenly provided with moving wheels, which makes the pushing and transportation of the data storage cabinet more labor-saving; S2: A pulley groove is provided on the top of the data cabinet base corresponding to the moving wheel, so that the moving wheel can be inserted into the pulley groove. After the data storage cabinet body is transported to the top of the data cabinet base, the through hole of the connecting plate is aligned with the screw groove of the data cabinet base and connected by screws, so that multiple sets of data storage cabinet bodies can be distributed and installed on the top of the data cabinet base; S3: After opening the cabinet door, the data storage server can be loaded on the top of the support plate. The exhaust fan can be started to discharge the heat in the data storage cabinet. The air on the outer wall can pass through the louver, filter box and protective net to blow to the data storage server, thereby dissipating the heat. The heat dissipation air can be transmitted to the exhaust hood and discharged through the insect-proof net; S4: The temperature detector of the cabinet door can detect the temperature inside the data storage cabinet. When the temperature detection is high, the split cooling fans can be activated from top to bottom in sequence until the temperature is stable. In the same data storage cabinet, cold data with low access frequency is input into the bottom data storage server, while data with high access frequency is input into the top data storage server. When the temperature inside the data storage server is high, the split cooling fans are activated from top to bottom. Among multiple groups of data storage cabinets, data with high access frequency fills one data storage cabinet and then fills the next data storage cabinet.
