That's close. There are 3 types: storage nodes, client nodes, and
control nodes.
Communication:
storage node <--> control node
storage node <--> storage node
client node --> storage node
client node --> control node
Data is uploaded by clients and distributed among storage nodes.
Everything is coordinated by the control nodes (plural for redundancy).
