Notes to Group

We might as well work directly on the main page I think I've moved all the existing text to the main page, as things were being edited in 2 places. Hope that's okay. --Dagar 23:01, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Tuan,i think the term PARDA was explained in the article. It stands for Proportional Allocation of Resources in Distributed storage Access. It was basically a priority queue for the storage devices and VMs.--Aaron Leblanc 22:47, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
