    Abstract: Systems for high-performance distributed computing. The systems include techniques for managing data and metadata across multiple nodes. A method embodiment commences by storing data at a node using a first storage mechanism that is local to the node. A first set of metadata is configured to identify a storage location for the stored data. The first set of metadata is stored using the same first storage mechanism that is local to the node. For accessing the first set of metadata, a second set of metadata is configured to identify a storage location for the first set of metadata. The second set of metadata is stored using a second storage mechanism that comprises a distributed metadata storage facility that stores metadata across multiple storage locations having at least one of the multiple storage locations that is not local to the node that stores data and metadata using the first storage mechanism.

    Abstract: An improved architecture is provided which enables significant convergence of the components of a system to implement virtualization. The infrastructure is VM-aware, and permits scaled out converged storage provisioning to allow storage on a per-VM basis, while identifying I/O coming from each VM. The current approach can scale out from a few nodes to a large number of nodes. In addition, the inventive approach has ground-up integration with all types of storage, including solid-state drives. The architecture of the invention provides high availability against any type of failure, including disk or node failures. In addition, the invention provides high performance by making I/O access local, leveraging solid-state drives and employing a series of patent-pending performance optimizations.
