Gluster is a software defined distributed storage that can scale to several petabytes. It provides interfaces for object, block and file storage. It is a distributed scale-out filesystem that allows rapid provisioning of additional storage based on your storage consumption needs. It incorporates automatic failover as a primary feature. 
<BR><BR>
Gluster runs on top of most unix filesystems, with XFS and ext4 being the most popular choices.  Data can be accessed from just about anywhere – You can use traditional NFS, SMB/CIFS for Windows clients, or our own native GlusterFS (a few additional packages are needed on the client machines for this, but as you will see, they are quite small).

Gluster Filesystem - Scalable Network Filesystem

XtreemFS is a distributed, replicated and fault-tolerant file system for federated IT infrastructures. XtreemFS replicates your file data across multiple storage servers, which can be distributed worldwide. It scales according to your needs within minutes, simply by adding new standard hardware. Starting with a single server, growing to a cluster and across datacenters.

Xtreemfs -  Fault-tolerant distributed file system

OrangeFS is a scale-out network file system designed for use on high-end computing (HEC) systems that provides very high-performance access to multi-server-based disk storage, in parallel. The OrangeFS server and client are user-level code, making them very easy to install and manage. OrangeFS has optimized MPI-IO support for parallel and distributed applications, and it is leveraged in production installations and used as a research platform for distributed and parallel storage.

OrangeFS - Scale-out Network File System

BeeGFS (formerly FhGFS) is the leading parallel cluster file system, developed with a strong focus on performance and designed for very easy installation and management. It transparently spreads user data across multiple servers. By increasing the number of servers and disks in the system, you can simply scale performance and capacity of the file system to the level that you need, seamlessly from small clusters up to enterprise-class systems with thousands of nodes.
