Lustre
A type of parallel distributed file system, typically used for large-scale cluster computing, provides high-performance file access over wide area networks.
GPFS (General Parallel File System)
High-performance shared-disk file management, used in large-scale cluster computing, supports data replication and parallel access.
NFS (Network File System)
Designed for client-server architecture, supports file sharing across a network, widely used due to its simplicity.
Ceph
Fault-tolerant, high-performance storage platform, scales to exabytes, supports block, object, and file storage.
OrangeFS (originally PVFS)
Designed for parallel disk access, can drive large numbers of I/O operations, handles metadata and data distribution across servers.
HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System)
Designed to handle large data sets in a distributed computing environment, fault-tolerance through data replication, well suited for big data analytics.
GFS (Google File System)
Optimized for Google's proprietary use, handles large data-sets, provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware.
GlusterFS
Scale-out NAS file system, uses a stackable design, and is good for cloud computing, media streaming, and data analysis workloads.
XtreemFS
Distributed and replicated file system for the Internet, allows replication across data centers, supports automatic failover.
BeeGFS (formerly FhGFS)
User-friendly high-performance parallel file system, designed to be easily installed and managed, supports a wide range of workloads.
FAT (File Allocation Table)
Simple file system originally designed for small disks and simple folder structures, widely used in various storage devices like SD cards and USB flash drives.
ZFS
Combines file system and logical volume manager, features include snapshots, copy-on-write clones, and continuous integrity checking against data corruption.
