In computing, a distributed file system (DFS) or network file system is any file system that allows access from multiple hosts to files shared via a computer network.This makes it possible for multiple users on multiple machines to share files and storage resources.
MapR-FS is a distributed file system that is the basis of the MapR Converged Platform, with capabilities for distributed file storage, a NoSQL database with multiple APIs, and an integrated message streaming system. MapR-FS is optimized for scalability, performance, reliability, and availability.
Tahoe-LAFS (Tahoe Least-Authority File Store [5]) is a free and open, secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant, distributed data store and distributed file system. [6] [7] It can be used as an online backup system, or to serve as a file or Web host similar to Freenet, [citation needed] depending on the front-end used to insert and access files in the Tahoe system.
Alluxio is an open-source virtual distributed file system (VDFS). Initially as research project "Tachyon", Alluxio was created at the University of California, Berkeley's AMPLab as Haoyuan Li's Ph.D. Thesis, [2] advised by Professor Scott Shenker & Professor Ion Stoica. Alluxio sits between computation and storage in the big data analytics ...
The Andrew File System (AFS) is a distributed file system which uses a set of trusted servers to present a homogeneous, location-transparent file name space to all the client workstations. It was developed by Carnegie Mellon University as part of the Andrew Project . [ 1 ]
Gfarm file system is an open-source distributed file system, generally used for large-scale cluster computing and wide-area data sharing, and provides features to manage replica location explicitly. The name is derived from the Grid Data Farm architecture it implements. Grid Datafarm is a petascale data-intensive computing project initiated in ...
Moose File System (MooseFS) is an open-source, POSIX-compliant distributed file system developed by Core Technology. MooseFS aims to be fault-tolerant , highly available, highly performing, scalable general-purpose network distributed file system for data centers .
XtreemFS is an object-based, distributed file system for wide area networks. [1] XtreemFS' outstanding feature is full (all components) and real (all failure scenarios, including network partitions) fault tolerance, while maintaining POSIX file system semantics.
