Learn more about distributed file systems

A distributed file system (DFS) is a file system that spans across multiple file servers or locations, such as file servers situated in different physical places. Files are accessible just as if they were stored locally, from any device and from anywhere on the network. A DFS makes it convenient to share information and files among users on a network in a controlled and authorized way.

These are the most common DFS implementations:

  • Windows Distributed File System
  • Network File System (NFS)
  • Server Message Block (SMB)
  • Google File System (GFS)
  • Lustre
  • Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
  • GlusterFS
  • Ceph
  • MapR File System

The benefits of a distributed file system (DFS) are:

  • Files are distributed to and stored in multiple locations, such as file servers located in different locales.
  • Files are accessible just as if they were locally stored, from any device at any location.
  • It’s more convenient to share information and files among authorized users on a network in a controlled way.
