12 GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several
13 peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA
14 or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system.
15 Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86-64
16 server with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.
17 GlusterFS is fully POSIX compliant FileSystem. On client side, it has
19 dependency on FUSE package, on server side, it works seemlessly on dif‐
20 ferent OSes. (Currently supported on GNU/Linux, Solaris).
