Abstract: The present disclosure relates to device in a network. The device includes an obtaining module, a storage module, and a determination module. The obtaining module is configured to obtain topology information associated with one or more nodes available in a network. The storage module is configured to store the topology information obtained along with meta-information associated with the topology information, if any. The determination module is configured to determine placement of at least storage resources on at least one node selected from the one or more nodes based on the topology information and the meta-information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method that improves efficiency and resilience of the communications between clients and nodes, and between the nodes of a distributed, scale-out storage system by participating in the topology of an L3 network. The present disclosure relates to a device in a network. The receiving module is configured to receive information associated with the storage endpoints advertised by nodes of the network, wherein the information is an IP address associated with the storage endpoints or removal and/or updation of the IP address of the storage endpoints. The update module is configured to summarize or re-advertise the information received from the one or more nodes, and advertise the summarized or re-advertised information to all nodes of the network to be utilized by the one or more nodes to achieve communication between the node and the storage endpoint based on the summarized or re-advertised information.
