  abstract = {The {\em HCSA} (Hybrid Client-Server Architecture), a flexible
  system layout that combines the advantages of the traditional Client-Server
  Architecture (CSA) with those of the Shared Disk Architecture (SDA), is
  introduced. In {\em HCSA}, the traditional CSA-style I/O subsystem is
  modified to give the clients network access to both the server and the
  server's set of disks. Hence, the {\em HCSA} is more fault-tolerant than the
  CSA since there are two paths between any client and the shared data.
  Moreover, a simulation study demonstrates that the {\em HCSA} is able to
  support a larger number of clients than the CSA or SDA under similar system
  workloads. Finally, the {\em HCSA} can run applications in either a CSA mode,
  an SDA mode, or a combination of the two, thus offering backward
  compatibility with a large number of existing applications.},
