Abstract
Shared storage systems and methods are provided. A particular shared storage system is a system including multiple instances of shared storage.

The file system metadata includes location data specifying storage location information related to the data. A persistent common view is provided of local and remote files, file systems, and services in the shared storage.
Claims40
A system, comprising:
- multiple instances of shared storage, wherein each of the instances of shared storage includes data and file system metadata separated from the data, wherein the file system metadata includes location data specifying storage location information related to the data, and wherein a persistent common view is provided of local and remote files, file systems, and services in the shared storage.
A method, comprising:
- providing a persistent common view of local and remote files, file systems, and services in shared storage.
A method, comprising:
- maintaining a federated metadata registry including storage location information regarding data stored at a first shared storage system and storage location information regarding data stored at one or more remote shared storage systems;
- receiving a request to access the federated metadata registry;
- filtering the federated metadata registry based on authentication information associated with a requesting device to generate a filtered federated metadata registry, wherein the filtered federated metadata registry does not include storage location information regarding data that the requesting device is not authorized to access based on the authentication information;
- and
- sending the filtered federated metadata registry to the requesting device.
