Distributed storage utilizes decentralized distributed technologies to virtualize the hard drives across multiple servers, thereby creating a unified virtual storage resource pool that provides external storage space. This approach enables flexible horizontal scaling of storage capacity and performance,while ensuring the security and reliability of stored data through redundancy strategies. 

WinHong CNware WinStore Distributed Storage employs a fully distributed, non-shared architecture. Utilizing advanced distributed technologies, it virtualizes the solid-state drives (SSDs) and mechanical hard drives across all servers in the cluster to create a unified virtual storage resource pool.Applications can access this virtual storage resource pool via various protocols—including block, file,and object protocols—and supports the deployment requirements of diverse platforms such as CNware, VMware, KVM, OpenStack, Kubernetes, and AI inference systems.
