I understand
(and hope to be corrected by posting here) that the CI
technology was originally developed as a method of sharing storage
for DECSYSTEM-20 systems.
Didn't realise it was that early, but it's certainly been around a while,
and the hardware went through
considerable evolution.
OK, now that I've got my caffeine levels approaching operational normal....
A quick google search gives:

which confirms that CI was used to provide a common file system for
DECSYSTEM-20s.
