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.
Ceph (pronounced / ˈ s ɛ f /) is a free and open-source software-defined storage platform that provides object storage, [7] block storage, and file storage built on a common distributed cluster foundation. Ceph provides distributed operation without a single point of failure and scalability to the exabyte level.
Apache Hadoop (/ h ə ˈ d uː p /) is a collection of open-source software utilities for reliable, scalable, distributed computing.It provides a software framework for distributed storage and processing of big data using the MapReduce programming model.
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.
Lustre is an open-source high-performance distributed parallel file system for Linux, used on many of the largest computers in the world. Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS, PVFS2, OrangeFS ). Developed to store virtual system images, with a focus on non-shared writing optimizations.
DRBD is a distributed replicated storage system for the Linux platform. It mirrors block devices between multiple hosts, functioning transparently to applications on the host systems. This replication can involve any type of block device, such as hard drives, partitions, RAID setups, or logical volumes.
Elliptics is a distributed key–value data storage with open source code. By default it is a classic distributed hash table (DHT) with multiple replicas put in different groups (distributed hashes). Elliptics was created to meet requirements of multi-datacenter and physically distributed storage locations when storing huge amount of medium and ...
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.
