- a frontend computing device comprising a local memory, wherein at least a portion of the local memory is used as a cache memory;
- a backend computing device;
- and
- a plurality of storage devices, wherein the backend computing device provides a lease to the frontend computing device for the frontend computing device to access at least one of the plurality of storage devices.
1 more element
