  • CONSOLIDATING DATA ACCESS IN A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK
    Publication number: 20190166197
    Abstract: A method for execution by a dispersed storage and task (DST) unit includes receiving a request for DSN configuration information from one of a plurality of additional DST units via a network. Distributed storage network (DSN) configuration information is generated for transmission to a second DST unit in response to receiving the request. An access request that indicates a data object is received from a requesting entity via the network. An access of a set of encoded data slices corresponding to the data object based on the access request, where the set of encoded data slices are stored in a set of DST units, and where the set of DST units includes the DST unit and a subset of the plurality of additional DST units. The access of the set of encoded data slices is processed to produce a data response for transmission to the requesting entity via the network.
