Distributed Storage Systems

Distributed storage systems are a way to save data across multiple servers or locations instead of a single device. This approach enhances reliability, scalability, and access speed, as data can be stored, retrieved, and maintained more efficiently and securely. If one server fails, others can take over, reducing the risk of data loss. Think of it like a library with copies of books spread across different branches, so if one branch closes, the books are still accessible from another. This system is commonly used by cloud services to provide users with reliable, flexible storage solutions.
