Abstract: A storage system includes a plurality of storage servers connected in a hierarchical fashion to form a tree structured network accessible by a client computer via a network. The storage servers includes a root node storage server at a highest level in the hierarchy, a plurality of second level node storage severs at a second level connected to the root node storage server, and a plurality of third level node storage severs at a third level connected to the corresponding second level node storage servers. The root node storage server receives and stores data from the client computer. Each of the second level node storage severs obtains the data from the root node storage server and stores the data thereon. Each of the third level node storage severs obtains the data from the corresponding second node storage server and stores the data thereon. A related method is also provided.
