Method and Apparatus for Providing Highly-Scalable Network Storage for Well-Gridded Objects

An apparatus comprising a plurality of storage nodes comprising a plurality of corresponding storage disks and configured to store data in a distributed manner between the storage disks that achieves a Redundant Array of Independent Disks-0 (RAID0) like performance based on positioning information and without indexing the distributed data. A network component comprising a storage disk configured to maintain a plurality of physical files for different user data that are mapped to different volumes, wherein the volumes are distributed between the storage disk and a second storage disk based on a RAID0 like data distribution scheme without being indexed.
