GlusterFS

➔ GlusterFS is implemented as a FUSE file system for GNU/Linux, and relies

• n the underlying file systems that already have received a lot of attention to

detail.

➔ GlusterFS stores files and folders as it is on the back-end disk (like NFS).

Even striped or mirrored files will look like regular files on disk. User can recover the files and folders even without GlusterFS

➔ GlusterFS is fully POSIX compliant ➔ GlusterFS is a free software clustered file system capable of scaling to several

petabytes.

➔ GlusterFS aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP

interconnect into one large parallel network file system.

➔ Storage servers (bricks) can be made of any commodity hardware. ➔ Theoretical peak performance is the aggregated performance of all the units. ➔ Advantage – easy to deploy and maintain
