Grid Storage
Definition - What does Grid Storage mean?
In IT, grid storage is a specific type of data storage that uses a series of interconnected nodes to accommodate versatile and scalable storage systems. This differs from the way the term is used in the energy community, where grid energy storage refers to the storage of electrical energy in an interconnected system.
Techopedia explains Grid Storage
Grid storage involves the use of specific data storage topologies or systems that determine how specific storage modules fit together. Experts describe grid storage as a process where data can take multiple paths between two nodes to minimize the effects of the failure of any one component. These systems can be managed through a variety of central interfaces such as windows-based applications that can show users how grid storage is set up and how it can be used. These systems can also accommodate the easy addition of more storage nodes or components.
