Distributed storage system
A distributed storage system is a method of storing data across multiple locations or devices rather than in a single place. This approach enhances reliability, as data remains accessible even if one part fails. It also improves performance, as multiple devices can work together to handle large amounts of data. Commonly used in cloud computing, distributed storage systems enable companies and individuals to store, access, and manage their information safely and efficiently from anywhere in the world, providing scalability and redundancy to protect against data loss.
