+The storage facilities implemented in SimGrid help to model (and account for)
+storage devices, such as tapes, hard-drives, CD or DVD devices etc.

+In this figure, two hosts called Bob and Alice are interconnected via a network
+and each host is physically attached to a disk; it is not only possible for each host to
+mount the disk they are attached to directly, but they can also mount disks
+that are in a remote location. In this example, Bob mounts Alice's disk remotely
+and accesses the storage via the network.
