Disaggregated resources and access methods

A method comprising: transmitting a discovery request to each of a plurality of resource nodes that each have a unique Internet protocol address and, collectively, present a logical representation of a plurality of physical resources; receiving, from one or more resource nodes of the plurality of resource nodes, node information that includes a name for each of the one or more resource nodes; and determining, from the names of each of the one or more resource nodes, an organizational structure of the plurality of resource nodes, the organizational structure being a parallel structure that will provide a resource consumer with access to a first data block of a data set stored on the plurality of physical resources through at least two resource nodes, or a serial structure that will provide the resource consumer with access to the first data block through a first resource node and access to a second data block, which is consecutive with the first data block, of the data set through a second resource node.

A method, comprising: receiving, at a resource consumer device, node names corresponding to each of a plurality of resource nodes; determining, using the resource consumer device, an organizational structure of the plurality of resource nodes based on the received node names, the organizational structure being a parallel structure that enables access to a data set through at least two of the plurality of resource nodes or a serial structure that enables access to a first data block of the data set through a first resource node and to a second data block consecutive to the first data block of the data set through a second resource node; and generating, using the resource consumer device, a resource map based at least in part on the organizational structure; and messaging, by the resource consumer device, one or more resource nodes of the plurality of resource nodes about the data set based at least in part on the resource map.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a resource consumer device, cause the resource consumer device to: discover a plurality of resource nodes each being associated with a corresponding unique protocol address; receive node names corresponding to each of the plurality of resource nodes; determine an organizational structure of the plurality of resource nodes based at least in part on the received node names, the organizational structure being a parallel structure that enables access to a data set through at least two of the plurality of resource nodes or a serial structure that enables access to a first data block of the data set through a first resource node and to a second data block consecutive to the first data block of the data set through a second resource node; generate a resource map that maps a correspondence between a plurality of logical resource element identifiers and the plurality of resource nodes based at least in part on the organizational structure; and message one or more resource nodes of the plurality of resource nodes about the data set based at least in part on the resource map.

A system, comprising: a memory device to store instructions; and one or more resource consumer devices to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to: receive node names corresponding to each of a plurality of resource nodes, each of the plurality of resource nodes being associated with a corresponding unique protocol address; determine an organizational structure of the plurality of resource nodes based at least in part on the received node names, the organizational structure being a parallel structure that enables access to a data set through at least two of the plurality of resource nodes or a serial structure that enables access to a first data block of the data set through a first resource node and to a second data block consecutive to the first data block of the data set through a second resource node; and generate a resource map that maps a correspondence between a plurality of logical resource element identifiers and the plurality of resource nodes based at least in part on the organizational structure; and message one or more resource nodes of the plurality of resource nodes about the data set based at least in part on the resource map.
