GlusterFS!

Ceph is a distributed object store and file system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability and scalability.

XtreemFS is an object-based, distributed file system for wide area networks. The file system replicates objects for fault tolerance and caches metadata and data to improve performance over high-latency links. SSL and X.509 certificates support make XtreemFS usable over public networks.

MooseFS is a fault-tolerant distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical locations(servers), which are visible to user as one resource. For standard file operations MooseFSacts as any other Unix-alike filesystem:• Hierarchical structure (directory tree)• Stores POSIX file attributes (permissions, last access and modification times)• Supports special files (block and character devices, pipes and sockets)• Symbolic links (file names pointing to target files, not necessarily on MooseFS) and hardlinks (different names of files that refer to the same data on MooseFS)• Access to the file system can be limited based on IP address and/or passwordDistinctive features of MooseFS are:• High reliability (several copies of the data can be stored on separate physical machines)• Capacity is dynamically expandable by adding new computers/disks• Deleted files are retained for a configurable period of time (a file system level ”trash bin”)• Coherent snapshots of files, even while the file is being written/accessed »

With LINBIT's DRBD®, your firm can accomplish its High Availability or Disaster Recovery goals with more success than proprietary alternatives. DRBD enables the usage of COTS hardware enabling your firm to reduce its storage/replication expenses by up to 90 percent.

Skylable SX is a reliable, fully distributed cluster solution for your data storage needs. With SX you can aggregate the disk space available on multiple servers and merge it into a single storage system. The cluster makes sure that your data is always replicated over multiple nodes (the exact number of copies is defined by the sysadmin) and synchronized. Additionally SX has built-in support for deduplication, client-side encryption, on-the-fly compression and much more.

Explore2fs is a GUI explorer tool for accessing ext2 and ext3 filesystems. It runs under all versions of Windows and can read almost any ext2 and ext3 filesystem.

StorPool enables so called “converged deployments”, i.e. using the same servers for both storage and compute, therefore making it possible to have a single standard “building block” for the datacenter and slashing costs. An extension to this concept is having a tight integration of the software layers running on this converged infrastructure – hypervisor, cloud management, etc – known as “hyper-convergence” or “hyper-converged” infrastructure.

Quobyte is a complete software storage solution for reliable and scalable storage infrastructures. It turns commodity hardware into a data center file system that enables warehouse-scale storage infrastructures without compromising operations.

Why use BeeGFS?BeeGFS transparently spreads user data across multiple servers. By increasing the number of servers and disks in the system, you can simply scale performance and capacity of the file system to the level that you need, seamlessly from small clusters up to enterprise-class systems with thousands of nodes.

Lustre is a massively parallel filesystem designed for high-performance, large-scale data.
