Abstract:
A environment and method are provided for increasing the storage capacity of a data storage environment. Additional storage clusters may be added to the storage environment without affecting the performance of each individual storage cluster. When data is written to the storage environment, a selection may be made as to which storage cluster is to store the data. When data is read from the storage environment, it may be determined which storage cluster stores the data and the data may be retrieved from that storage cluster.
