In this paper,some problems on storage system architecture of computer network are analyzed,a novel storage system architecture of the Intelligent Network Disk(IND)is presented.The internal read and write control algorithms,the tolerant-fault strategies,and the workload balance algorithms for the IND storage system,are all described in detail.Also a basic experimental system of the IND storage architecture has been constructed.Since each IND of the IND storage system is linked directly to the high LAN,some INDs can form a network cluster of storage system.And,it will provide a virtual huge storage system for users.In addition,as each IND has some intelligence,the IND storage system is a flexible Intelligent Network Storage System.
