<para>To increase reliability and performance, you may want to add
additional proxy servers.</para>
<para>This document describes each storage node as a separate zone in the
ring. It is recommended to have a minimum of 5 zones. A zone is a
group of nodes that is as isolated as possible from other nodes
(separate servers, network, power, even geography). The ring
guarantees that every replica is stored in a separate zone. This
diagram shows one possible configuration for a minimal
installation.</para>
<!-- we need to fix this diagram - the auth node isn't a thing anymore-->
