Abstract

Methods, devices and computer program products for storing and accessing data are provided, and can effectively improve the performance and scalability of a storage system. For example, a method comprises sending, at a client device and to a seed server of a plurality of servers communicatively coupled to the client device, a request for storing data; receiving a response to the request from the seed server, the response comprising an indication on at least one server of the plurality of servers for storing the data into a target storage device; and sending, to the at least one server, at least one request for storing the data into the target storage device, such that the at least one server stores the data into the target storage device.
