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.
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.
Modern data centers must support large, heterogenous environments, consisting of large numbers of computers of varying capacities. Cloud computing coordinates the operation of all such systems, with techniques such as data center networking (DCN), the MapReduce framework, which supports data-intensive computing applications in parallel and distributed systems, and virtualization techniques ...
Structured storage is computer storage for structured data, often in the form of a distributed database. [1] Computer software formally known as structured storage systems include Apache Cassandra , [ 2 ] Google 's Bigtable [ 3 ] and Apache HBase .
Ceph's software libraries provide client applications with direct access to the reliable autonomic distributed object store (RADOS) object-based storage system. More frequently used are libraries for Ceph's RADOS Block Device (RBD), RADOS Gateway, and Ceph File System services. In this way, administrators can maintain their storage devices ...

Distributed computing is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems, defined as computer systems whose inter-communicating components are located on different networked computers. [1] [2] The components of a distributed system communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to
Dynamo is a set of techniques that together can form a highly available key-value structured storage system [1] or a distributed data store. [1] It has properties of both databases and distributed hash tables (DHTs). It was created to help address some scalability issues that Amazon experienced during the holiday season of 2004. [2]
