Gluster is exclusively focused on simplifying the task of storing and managing the explosion of unstructured data while transforming the economics of storage. GlusterFS is an open source clustered file system that runs on commodity off the shelf hardware, delivering multiple times the scalability and performance of conventional storage at a fraction of the cost.

The GlusterFS architecture is modular, stackable, and kernel-independent, making it extremely easy to customize, install, manage, and support different operating systems. Multiple storage systems can be clustered together, supporting Peta bytes of capacity in a single global namespace. Building a configuration of a few hundred terabytes can be accomplished in less than thirty minutes.
