Systems that expose a traditional file system interface with POSIX semantics.
Ceph file system – Ceph’s file system runs on top of the same object storage system that provides object storage and block device interfaces. The Ceph metadata server cluster provides a service that maps the directories and file names of the file system to objects stored within RADOS clusters. The metadata server cluster can expand or contract, and it can rebalance the file system dynamically to distribute data evenly among cluster hosts. This ensures high performance and prevents heavy loads on specific hosts within the cluster.
LeoFS – LeoFS is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. If you are searching a storage system that is able to store huge amount and various kind of raw data in its native format, LeoFS is suitable for that.
XtreemFS – XtreemFS is a general purpose storage system and covers most storage needs in a single deployment. It is open-source, requires no special hardware or kernel modules, and can be mounted on Linux, Windows and OS X.
OrangeFS – OrangeFS is a software based scale-out parallel storage system. It is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming Video, Genomics and Bioinformatics.
BeeGFS – BeeGFS is the leading parallel cluster file system, developed with a strong focus on performance and designed for very easy installation and management. If I/O intensive workloads are your problem, BeeGFS is the solution.
Gluster – Gluster is a scalable network filesystem. Using common off-the-shelf hardware, you can create large, distributed storage solutions for media streaming, data analysis, and other data- and bandwidth-intensive tasks. Gluster is free.
HekaFS – CloudFS is a distributed fileysystem specifically intended to solve problems faced by a cloud provider when offering filesystem access “as a service” to cloud users (a.k.a. tenants).
JuiceFS – JuiceFS is an open-source cloud-native distributed file system with high performance, commonly utilized in AI & machine learning for training, inference, model distribution, as well as in big data processing and analysis.
LizardFS – LizardFS Software Defined Storage is a distributed, parallel, scalable, fault-tolerant, Geo-Redundant and highly available file system.
SeaweedFS SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. SeaweedFS can transparently integrate with the cloud. With hot data on local cluster, and warm data on the cloud with O(1) access time, SeaweedFS can achieve both fast local access time and elastic cloud storage capacity.
Zenko Zenko is the open source multi-cloud data controller: own and keep control of your data on any cloud.
CubeFS CubeFS is a new generation cloud-native storage that supports access protocols such as S3, HDFS, and POSIX.
MooseFS MooseFS is a Petabyte Open Source Network Distributed File System. It is easy to deploy and maintain, highly reliable, fault tolerant, highly performing, easily scalable and POSIX compliant.
