We have a decade of experience with popular HPC filesystems such as PVFS, GFS and Lustre. Cloud scale storage evolved from experience with HPC filesystems, and while HPC filesystems focused on performance via highly parallel file operations, cloud storage requirements differs with a focus SLA and costs. It is with this in mind that we are proud to introduce the GLUSTER Storage Platform.
Manage your data in a single global namespace on commodity hardware with the open source Gluster Storage Platform. Gluster Storage Platform combines the advanced GlusterFS file system with a new user interface and operating system layer for massive performance and stunning ease of use. Deploy petabyte-scale storage on industry standard hardware in just 15 minutes with centralized management and automated maintenance.
• Lower Storage Cost—Open source software runs on commodity hardware
• Scalability—Linearly scales to hundreds of petabytes
• Performance—No metadata server means no bottlenecks
• High Availability—Data mirroring and real time self-healing
• Virtual Storage for Virtual Servers—Simplify storage and keep VMs always-on
• Simplicity—Complete web based management suite
