5.2 Dell FluidFS

Dell FluidFS

is a high performance clustered file system. It provides fully interoperable multi-protocol

file sharing for UNIX, Linux, and Windows® clients using standard CIFS and NFS file access protocols

and authentication methods (Active Directory, LDAP, NIS). Some of the key features provided in

FluidFS include:

Global namespace: FluidFS presents a single global file system namespace, accessible via a virtual IP

address, regardless of cluster size.

High availability and reliability: the FS Series architecture includes a high speed cluster interconnect

between controller nodes, write cache mirroring, failsafe journaling, and data integrity checks. In a

FluidFS based FS Series cluster, a controller node can fail without affecting data availability or causing

data loss, even if write operations were in-flight at the time failure.
