That's probably true but not completely precise. The following statements are (AFAIK) true and are more precise. They also make clear that there is a subtle difference here on what the user relies upon between confidentiality and integrity. A user does not rely on the storage grid as a whole, nor any of the individual storage servers that comprise it, for confidentiality. A user does not rely on any particular storage server for integrity; however, he/she does rely on the storage grid as a whole for integrity. Availability is analogous to integrity here, I think, so: A user does not rely on any particular storage server for availability; however, he/she does rely on the storage grid as a whole for availability. I'm not arguing that the text of this page should be changed but merely trying to clarify that original statement.
