GlusterFS is an open source / free software scale-out NAS filesystem that runs on commodity off-the-shelf hardware, delivering multiple times the scalability and performance of conventional storage at a fraction of the cost. GlusterFS architecture is modular, stackable, and kernel-independent, making it extremely easy to customize, install, manage, and support different operating systems. Multiple storage systems can be clustered together, supporting petabytes of capacity in a single global namespace. Building a configuration of a few hundred terabytes can be accomplished in less than thirty minutes.
