What Did Gluster Win at Citrix Synergy 2011?

Best of Synergy

Accelerating Cloud Adoption

Scale-Out Storage for Public and Private Clouds 5

Why Did Gluster Win at Citrix Synergy 2011?

The Gluster Approach– Treat storage as a scalable, virtualized,

commoditized and centrally managed pool – Hardware independent– A file system that delivers high availability,

scale-out capacity and scale-up performance

– Accelerate the adoption of public, private and hybrid cloud deployments

The Technology– Deploy in public, private and hybrid clouds– Linear performance scaling – Synchronous and Asynchronous replication– Global namespace – Cloud federation

What is the Gluster File System?

Open source scale-out file system for public and private cloud storage

– Metadata free storage – Global namespace– POSIX compliant– NAS– Highly available – Replication– Linearly scalable performance– Easy to deploy and use

Stores and manages data with 3x the performance and 1/3 the costs
