A StorageGRID system consists of multiple types of grid nodes at one or more data center sites.
Deployment topologies
The StorageGRID system can be deployed to a single data center site or to multiple data center sites.
System architecture
This diagram shows how grid nodes are arranged within a StorageGRID system.
Grid nodes and services
The basic building block of a StorageGRID system is the grid node. Nodes contain services, which are software modules that provide a set of capabilities to a grid node.
Network topologies
The StorageGRID system supports up to three network interfaces per grid node, allowing you to configure the networking for each individual grid node to match your security and access requirements. Subnets are available on each network for access restriction and protection of network segments.
Network topology examples
In addition to the required Grid Network, you can choose whether to configure Admin and Client Network interfaces when designing the network topology for a single or multi-site deployment.
