The Internet2 Distributed Storage Infrastructure (I2-DSI) Project (http://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 Internet-based applications. The approach will leverage current capabilities ion mass storage and high-bandwidth wide-area networks to enable significant new applications today.
