-A group of servers (called **shares**) providing storage is called a **storage grid**. 
-Files stored on a grid are split into parts. Each node gets only part of your file. Each part is encrypted as well. To later restore a file you only need a limited number of it's parts. For example you spread parts of your file onto 10 shares but only three of them are needed to restore it.
