Elegant Design Space
Stackable user-space design: easy to install, extensible, portable, kernel independent, rapid development and advanced features such as distributed bdb backend, web embeddable, automatic replication, pluggable I/O schedulers...
High Performance and Scalable
GlusterFS can scale to multiple Peta bytes and 100s of GB/s throughput. GlusterFS can sustain 1 GB/s per storage brick over Infiniband RDMA. Performance scales as you add more storage bricks.
Resilient
GlusterFS self-heals itself on the fly. There is no fsck. Storage backend is accessible directly as regular files and folders (NFS style). With replication enabled, GlusterFS can with-stand hardware failures.
