Distributed Storage Systems for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the spread-out-all-ova-tha-place dept.

elambrecht asks: "We've got a _lot_ of data we'd like to archive and make sure it is accessible via the web 24/7. We've been using a NetApp for this, but that solution is just waaaay to expensive to scale. We want to move to using a cluster of Linux boxes that redundantly store and serve up the data. What are the best packages out there for this? GFS? MogileFS?"

    Check out Lustre at http://www.lustre.org/ It's being developed/used by the DOE on alot of Supercomputer Cluster systems, for multi-terabyte storage stuff.
