Distributed Storage Architecture Distributed storage systems are designed with a core framework that includes the main system controller, a data repository for the system, and a database. This makes adopting such sophisticated multi-node-based arrangements exceedingly advantageous from both operational efficiency and financial viewpoints.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.
