1. A system for implementing distributed RAID, comprising: a plurality of data bank computers, each data bank coupled to each host and each of the other plurality of data banks, each data bank including: a processor; a data store; a computer readable medium comprising instructions executable for: executing an first application program on the data bank, wherein the first application program is a first virtual machine; and implementing a distributed RAID application, the distributed RAID application operable to: receive a command corresponding to a first segment of a first volume, wherein the command was issued by the first application program and the first volume and redundancy data corresponding to a RAID level implemented in conjunction with the first volume are stored on each of the plurality of data banks such that for each segment of the first volume a corresponding redundancy segment comprising the redundancy data associated with that segment does not reside on the same data bank as the segment; determine a first data bank of the plurality of data banks, wherein the first data bank corresponds to the first segment; and if the first data bank is the data bank which received the command execute the first command with respect to the first segment and if not, forward the first command to the first data bank.
