CTO of Quobyte here. I'd like to mention that we don't come out of nowhere. We are working on this since 2006, already built an (open-source) parallel file system before (XtreemFS), and have quite some background in distributed systems. I hope this helps you to put our technology in context. You are also invited to play with our system yourself. It can be installed in an hour or so. Just send me an email (see profile) or get access via our web page.
