Gluster Pushes Storage Software to VMware, Amazon
|
The Gluster open-source file system is following the well-worn path into virtualization and cloud computing with the introduction on Tuesday of Gluster Virtual Storage Appliances for VMware and for the Amazon Web Services platform.
GlusterFS is a file system that can cluster storage systems of any type into a single virtual network-attached storage pool with a global namespace. Gluster, the company, sells service and support for GlusterFS on a subscription basis, similar to Red Hat Linux's approach to Linux.
The file system runs on standard x86 hardware but until now has been offered for use on dedicated servers. It is available by itself and in a platform version that includes an OS, a graphical user interface and management software. With Gluster Virtual Storage Appliances, enterprises can deploy GlusterFS on virtual machines running either on site or in a cloud environment.
Gluster's move follows the dramatic shift toward virtualized computing infrastructure by large enterprises, most of which have virtualized at least some servers over the past few years. Enterprises are also closely examining public cloud infrastructures such as Amazon's for access to flexible computing and storage resources.
