  Ceph, OpenStack Swift, GlusterFS, OrangeFS, Lustre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustered_file_system#Distributed_file_systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustered_file_system#Distribu... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage

    If Lustre is the answer, you're probably asking the wrong question. Unless that question involves short life-span, massively parallel swap-outs from one weapons simulation to another. I write this not as storage religion (of which there's far too much), but to warn away those who haven't experienced the many kinds of data (and stomach lining) loss that come with being a Lustre admin.

  Have a look at Open vStorage (http://www.openvstorage.com http://www.openvstorage.com). Some highlights: open-source, core is battle proven for more than 7 years, performance, scales across datacenters , unlimited snapshots, ... (disclaimer: I'm an engineer there...)
