Just about a year ago, I first mentioned TidyFS, a new, small distributed file system under development by Microsoft Research. Later this week at the Usenix '11 conference, Microsoft researchers ...

If you've been working with networks for any length of time, you've no doubt had a server's hard disk fill up, which usually means it's time to have users clear out files they no longer use. You can ...

Forget beards and sandals. The leading open-source file systems are enterprise-class big hitters, with advanced features and massive, often parallel, scalability. Sure, many are under development and ...

(1) For replication of files across the Internet, see IPFS. (2) A distributed file system is software that keeps track of files stored across multiple servers or networks. When data are requested, a ...

The proliferation of small files in distributed file systems poses significant challenges that affect both storage efficiency and operational performance. Modern systems, such as Hadoop Distributed ...

File management software maker Peer Software plans to launch Linux file server compatibility this summer, along with enhanced artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)-based file access anomaly ...

(LAN), even if that LAN carries storage traffic (that is, via networked filesystem shares and so on). Only if the LAN carries storage traffic using the iSCSI or FCoE protocols can it then be ...

Many of the major advances in HPC have been the result of collaboration between academia and the big government labs. This has been the case with PVFS (Parallel Virtual File System) and its latest ...

Although the World Wide Web is a global network, it remains predominantly centralized in terms of data storage. Servers, whether physical or virtual, are housed in large server farms or cloud ...

DeepSeek has released the Fire-Flyer File System (3FS), an open source project that is a parallel file system that improves the efficiency of AI training and inference performance. DeepSeek brings ...
