Introduction: Adapted from their website: GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86-64 server with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA). Cluster file systems are still not mature for enterprise market. They are too complex to deploy and maintain though they are extremely scalable and cheap. Can be entirely built out of commodity OS and hardware. GlusterFS hopes to solves this problem. GlusterFS achieved 35 GBps read throughput . The GlusterFS Aggregated I/O Benchmark was performed on 64 bricks clustered storage system over 10 Gbps Infiniband interconnect. A cluster of 220 clients pounded the storage system with multiple dd (disk-dump) instances, each reading / writing a 1 GB file with 1MB block size. GlusterFS was configured with unify translator and round-robin scheduler

Introduction: Hi. I'm looking for a way to share files between EC2 nodes. Currently we are using glusterfs to do this. It has been reliable recently, but in the past it has crashed under high load and we've had trouble starting it up again. We've only been able to restart it by removing the files, restarting the cluster, and filing it up again with our files from backup. This takes ages, and will take even longer the more files we get. What worries me is that it seems to make each node a point of failure for the entire system. One node crashes and soon the entire cluster has crashed. The other problem is adding another node. It seems like you have to take down the whole thing, reconfigure to include the new node, and restart. This kind of defeats the horizontal scaling strategy. We are using 2 EC2 instances as web servers, 1 as a DB master, and 1 as a slave. GlusterFS is installed on the web server machines as well as the DB slave machine (we backup files to s3 from this machine). The files

Clustered storage can be broken down into three types: 2-way simple failover clustering Namespace aggregation Clustered storage with a distributed file systems (DFS)
Introduction: Much of the focus of high performance computing (HPC) has centered on CPU performance. However, as computing requirements grow, HPC clusters are demanding higher rates of aggregate data throughput. Today's clusters feature larger numbers of nodes with increased compute speeds. The higher clock rates and operations per clock cycle create increased demand for local data on each node. In addition, InfiniBand and other high-speed, low-latency interconnects increase the data throughput available to each node. Traditional shared file systems such as NFS have not been able to scale to meet this growing demand for data throughput on HPC clusters. Scalable cluster file systems that can provide parallel data access to hundreds of nodes and petabytes of storage are needed to provide the high data throughput required by large HPC applications, including manufacturing, electronic design, and research. This paper describes an implementation of the Sun Lustre file system as a scalable storage

Introduction: pNFS (parallel NFS) is the next generation of NFS and its main claim to fame is that it's clustered, which "enables clients to directly access file data spread over multiple storage servers in parallel. As a result, each client can leverage the full aggregate bandwidth of a clustered storage service at the granularity of an individual file." About pNFS StorageMojo says: pNFS is going to commoditize parallel data access. In 5 years we won’t know how we got along without it . Something to watch.
5 0.75573599 889 high scalability-2010-08-30-Pomegranate - Storing Billions and Billions of Tiny Little Files
Introduction: Pomegranate is a novel distributed file system built over distributed tabular storage that acts an awful lot like a NoSQL system. It's targeted at increasing the performance of tiny object access in order to support applications like online photo and micro-blog services, which require high concurrency, high throughput, and low latency. Their tests seem to indicate it works: We have demonstrate that file system over tabular storage performs well for highly concurrent access. In our test cluster, we observed linearly increased more than 100,000 aggregate read and write requests served per second ( RPS ). Rather than sitting atop the file system like almost every other K-V store, Pomegranate is baked into file system. The idea is that the file system API is common to every platform so it wouldn't require a separate API to use. Every application could use it out of the box. The features of Pomegranate are: It handles billions of small files efficiently, even in on

They use servlets, an application server, the JDK, and they do the rest themselves. They skip JSP, entity beans, and JMS. When you need to scale putting all your eggs in one basket is a risky strategy. Why use JSP when you can do better? When use entity beans when you can do better? Use servlets because they are a very effective way of handling http requests. Use Java because it is fast, runs everywhere, and has a boat load of libraries you can use to build your build your custom system. Probably the major reason J2EE is absentee is simply LAMP. LAMP is just so incredibly functional for most 2-tier shared nothing site

To make sure these applications are nice and snappy to use, we need to optimize the size and nature of content required to render the page, making sure we’re delivering the optimum experience. In practice, this means a combination of making our content as small and fast to download as possible, while avoiding unnecessarily refetching unmodified resources." A lot of good comments too.
