Abstract
A storage system has a plurality of nodes which are grouped into a plurality of cluster systems each having multiple nodes, each cluster system being logically partitioned into a plurality of namespaces, each namespace including a collection of data objects, each cluster system having multiple tenants, each tenant being a grouping of namespaces, each cluster system having a plurality of capabilities, at least some of the capabilities being bound to the tenants. A node in the cluster system comprises: a memory, and a controller operable to bind each capability to one of a plurality of IP networks so that each capability is bound to only one of the IP networks and has a destination IP address of the IP network to which the capability is bound. It is permissible for one or more capabilities to be bound to the same IP network. Each IP network has one corresponding network interface.
