GlusterFS as Virtual Machine File System

Bring VMware's vMotion like capabilities to OpenStack.

Instantly boot VMs using mountable filesystem interface. Object storage requires entire VM image to be fetched before booting.

Easily manage VM images just like any other files.

Scale OpenStack beyond VMware. No 64 TB volume limit or 2TB VM limit. GlusterFS scales to multiple Petabytes.
