SYNOPSYS

DESCRIPTION

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.  GlusterFS is fully POSIX
17       compliant FileSystem. On client side, it has dependency on  FUSE  pack‐
18       age,  on server side, it works seemlessly on different OSes. (Currently
19       supported on GNU/Linux, Mac OSX, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris).
