Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method an apparatus and a computer program product for constructing a scalable storage device by constructing the scalable storage device by combining a plurality of modularized building blocks; wherein each modularized building block in the plurality of modularized building blocks comprises a magnetic disk enclosure; and at least one modularized building block in the plurality of modularized building blocks comprises a storage processor, the storage processor comprising an input output processing unit; forming a cluster using the input output processing unit in the at least one modularized building block; and processing, using the cluster, an input or output (I/O) request from a host and metadata service.
