Abstract
A data storage system includes: one or more storage nodes configured to attach to a computer network to provide network-attached storage for the computer network; a first application programming interface providing data storage functionality at a file level in the one or more network-attached storage nodes for a first set of application programs operating in the computer network; and a second application programming interface providing data storage functionality at a level other than the file level in the one or more network-attached storage nodes for a second set of application programs operating in the computer network, wherein the second application programming interface comprises one or more native representational state transfer-based application programming interfaces.
