Abstract
Ubiquitous access to large quantities of information content is one of the main benefits anticipated from the Global Information Infrastructure (GII). One of several major factors in achieving this objective is the cost and performance of the distributed storage systems which will act as the repositories for this information. This article presents an overview of the major components and requirements of storage systems for information services on the GII.
