Skylable Sx

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.

Features:

• Cloud Storage
• Object storage

BeeGFS

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. How to get BeeGFS? BeeGFS is provided free of charge. For production systems, professional support is available.

Features:

• Distributed
• Fault tolerant

XtreemFS

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.

LizardFS

LizardFS is a distributed, scalable, fault-tolerant and highly available file system. It allows users to combine disk space located on many servers into a single name space which is visible on Unix-like and Windows systems in the same way as other file systems. LizardFS makes files secure by keeping all the data in many replicas spread over available servers. It can be used also to build an affordable storage, because it runs without any problems on commodity hardware.

Features:

• Distributed
• Erasure coding
• Fault tolerant

MooseFS

MooseFS is a fault-tolerant distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical locations (servers), which are visible to user as one resource.

Features:

• Automatic replication
• Data Redundancy
• Distributed
• High Availability
• POSIX-compliance
• Quotas support
