Zusammenfassung:A system and method to allow scalability of file storage (300) in terms of capacity and performance through a symmetric multicomputer architecture with shared storage, in which storage and protocol processing resources can be added to (or removed from) the system without any need of recognizing and/or explicitly migrating the data stored in the system. The invention permits clients (302, 304, 306, 308) to access files stored (i.e., written) in any o f multiple external protocol processing nodes to be retrieved from any other external protocol processing node. The access can be routed through any of t he gateway service nodes (312a, 312b, 312c).
