The Internet2 Distributed Storage Infrastructure (I2-DSI) Project (heep://dsi.internet2.edu/) [1] is developing a novel distributed network storage solution as part of Internet2 (http://www.internet2.edu) technical activities. Through the replication of application source objects to dedicated replication servers in the network, I2-DSI seeks to reduce the network distance between clients and servers and thereby address the performance challenges facing Internetbased applications. The approach will leverage current capabilities in mass storage and high-bandwidth wide-area networks to enable significant new applications today.
