Abstract
System and methods for storage object distribution using a universal distributed storage (UDS) system. An embodiment UDS includes server nodes and a header server in communication with the server nodes. The header server is configured to divide an object received from a client into chunks, to assign a key to each of the chunks, to calculate a hash value for each of the keys to identify which of the server nodes will store each of the chunks, and to instruct one of the server nodes to store each of the chunks in accordance with the hash value calculated. In an embodiment, the server nodes include a single central processing unit, a single storage device, a primary network interface, and a redundant network interface.
