Intro
In any organization, data is the most valuable asset. Many technologies
emerged to protect data and avoid a single point of failure. When
storing any critical data, having a single point of failure is very risky.
While many databases and other software allow you to spread data out in the
context of a single application. Glusterfs enables the flexibility to spread
the data among multiple bricks.
GlusterFS (Gluster File System) is an
open source
Distributed File System that can scale out in a building-block fashion to
store multiple petabytes of data. Also, glusterfs is supported as a
cluster file system for OLVM. There are 4 main types of glusterfs
volumes.
