摘要： An apparatus and associated method including a first storage device and a second storage device, each coupled to a remote server independently of the other via a network. Resilient mirroring logic is stored in each of the storage devices that establishes a peer-to-peer communication connection with the other storage device in response to receiving a data access command from the remote server.

摘要： An apparatus and associated methodology contemplating a data storage system having a group of processor-controlled intelligent storage elements (ISEs). Each ISE in the group individually includes storage resources and a network interface. The storage resources of all the ISEs in the group collectively define a field of storage (FoS). A portion of the FoS is addressable by a remote device or by another ISE via the respective ISE's network interface. An ISE FoS structure (ISEFoS) is individually stored in nonvolatile memory within each of the ISEs in the group. Each ISEFoS contains parametric data pertaining to every ISE in the group. Orchestration logic executed by one of the ISEs of the group (a recipient ISE), in response to the recipient ISE receiving a storage management operation request via the network interface, queries the recipient ISE's ISEFoS in order to optimally determine which ISE in the group to use in executing the storage management operation request.
