A '''shared-disk architecture''' (SD) is a [[distributed computing]] [[Software architecture|architecture]] in which the nodes share same disk devices but each node has its own private memory.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-18|title=Difference between Shared Nothing Architecture and Shared Disk Architecture|url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-shared-nothing-architecture-and-shared-disk-architecture/|access-date=2021-02-24|website=GeeksforGeeks|language=en-US}}</ref> The disks have active nodes which all share memory in case of any failures.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Solar: Towards a Shared-Everything Database on Distributed Log-Structured Storage|url=https://www.cs.utah.edu/~dongx/paper/solar-atc.pdf|journal=|pages=13|via=Solar}}</ref> In this architecture, the disks are accessible from all the cluster nodes.

Multiple processors can access all disks directly via intercommunication network and every processor has local memory.

It contrasts with [[shared-nothing architecture]], in which all nodes have sole access to distinct disks,<ref name="stopford">{{cite web |date=November 24, 2009 |title=Shared Nothing v.s. Shared Disk Architectures: An Independent View |url=http://www.benstopford.com/2009/11/24/understanding-the-shared-nothing-architecture/ |access-date=November 1, 2012}}</ref> and with [[Shared-memory architecture|shared-memory]], in which they also share memory.

A '''shared disk architecture''' (SD) is a [[distributed computing]] architecture in which each node is independent and self-sufficient, and there is no [[single point of contention]] across the system, popular in clustered data systems. More specifically, the disks are accessible from all cluster nodes. Hence, any node can access any piece of data and any single piece of data has no dedicated owner.

Shared-disk has two advantages over Shared-memory. Firstly, each processor has its own memory, the memory bus is not a bottleneck; secondly, the system offers a simple way to provide a degree of fault tolerance.
