摘要
A peer-to-peer global namespace for storage system metadata federations. Specifically, the disclosure proposes a peer-to-peer metadata federation architecture, where enterprise storage metadata for any and all geo-distributed sites may be distributed across and continually reconciled by a network of nodes, instead of being maintained by a single node assigned to a given geographic location. In implementing a federation, the network of nodes may lack exploitable, centralized points of vulnerability, and therefore, may exhibit no central point of failure. Furthermore, the disclosure proposes the implementation of a global metadata namespace for the enterprise storage metadata spanning the entirety of an enterprise (across all geographic locations). The global metadata namespace may be maintained on each node through event-based synchronization.
