GlusterFS is an open source, scalable, distributed file system that aggregates disk storage resources from multiple servers into a single global namespace. It is designed to be easily deployed across a wide variety of computing environments, and to allow for high availability, performance, and scalability. GlusterFS is used to provide a single access point to a global namespace that contains data stored in many different locations. It can be used to provide a single platform for distributed storage, allowing for easy and efficient data access, replication, and disaster recovery. GlusterFS is also used to provide an easy way to manage storage of large-scale data sets across multiple physical locations, and to simplify the storage management process.
