Abstract
In accordance with the invention, a data storage system for storing and retrieving fixed data content includes: a storage system network; one or more peer node computer systems interconnected by the storage system network; and at least one disklet stored on at least one of the one or more peer node computer systems, the disklet for execution on the data storage system using data that are stored on, being written to, or being read from the data storage system. In one embodiment, a disklet includes executable program code and a disklet interface that permits the program code of the disklet to be loaded on to the data storage system and executed on the data storage system by a user.
