Abstract
Various implementations described herein relate to a system including multiple nodes. Each node is one of a storage node, a compute node, or a computer-and-storage node. Each node includes a Bluetooth® connector configured to communicate over a Bluetooth® mesh network.
Claims21
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of nodes, each node comprising:
- a memory storing instructions and at least one hardware processor executing the instructions;
- a non-volatile storage configured as a network storage;
- and
- a short-link radio technology connector in compliance with Bluetooth® standards configured to communicate data that is stored in the non-volatile storage over a mesh network in compliance with Bluetooth® standards and a network storage protocol, wherein the communicated data comprises packets for supporting network storage applications using the network storage in another one of the plurality of nodes.
2 more elements
A storage node, comprising:
- a non-volatile storage configured as a network storage;
- a short-link radio technology connector in compliance with Bluetooth® standards configured to communicate data that is stored in the non-volatile storage over a mesh network in compliance with Bluetooth® standards and a network storage protocol, wherein the communicated data comprises packets for supporting network storage applications using non-volatile network storage in another storage node or a compute-and-storage node in the mesh network;
- and
- an on-board power supply.
1 more element
A compute-and-storage node, comprising;
- a non-volatile storage configured as a network storage;
- a plurality of processing cores;
- a short-link radio technology connector in compliance with Bluetooth® standards configured to communicate data that is stored in the non-volatile storage over a mesh network in compliance with Bluetooth® standards and a network storage protocol, wherein the communicated data comprises packets for supporting network storage applications using network storage in one or both of the storage node and the another compute-and-storage node or a storage node in the mesh network;
- and
- an on-board power supply.
