-Introducing Gluster File System
-===============================
-
-GlusterFS is an open source, distributed file system capable of scaling to
-several petabytes and handling thousands of clients. It is a file system with
-a modular, stackable design, and a unique no-metadata server architecture.
-This no-metadata server architecture ensures better performance,
-linear scalability, and reliability. GlusterFS can be
-flexibly combined with commodity physical, virtual, and cloud resources
-to deliver highly available and performant enterprise storage at a
-fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.
-
-GlusterFS clusters together storage building blocks over Infiniband RDMA
-and/or TCP/IP interconnect, aggregating disk and memory resources and
-managing data in a single global namespace.
-
-GlusterFS aggregates various storage servers over network interconnects
-into one large parallel network file system. Based on a stackable user space
-design, it delivers exceptional performance for diverse workloads and is a key
-building block of GlusterFS.
-The POSIX compatible GlusterFS servers, use any ondisk file system which supports
-extended attributes (eg: ext4, XFS, etc) to format to store data on disks, can be
-accessed using industry-standard access protocols including Network File System (NFS)
-and Server Message Block (SMB).
-
-![ Virtualized Cloud Environments ](../images/640px-GlusterFS_Architecture.png)
-
-GlusterFS is designed for today's high-performance, virtualized cloud
-environments. Unlike traditional data centers, cloud environments
-require multi-tenancy along with the ability to grow or shrink resources
-on demand. Enterprises can scale capacity, performance, and availability
-on demand, with no vendor lock-in, across on-premise, public cloud, and
-hybrid environments.
-
-GlusterFS is in production at thousands of enterprises spanning media,
-healthcare, government, education, web 2.0, and financial services.
-
-## Commercial offerings and support ##
-
-Several companies offer support or consulting - http://www.gluster.org/consultants/.
-
-Red Hat Storage (http://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/storage/storage-server)
-is a commercial storage software product, based on GlusterFS.
-
-
-## About On-premise Installation ##
-
-GlusterFS for On-Premise allows physical storage to be utilized as a
-virtualized, scalable, and centrally managed pool of storage.
-
-GlusterFS can be installed on commodity servers resulting in a
-powerful, massively scalable, and highly available NAS environment.
-
-GlusterFS On-premise enables enterprises to treat physical storage as a
-virtualized, scalable, and centrally managed storage pool by using commodity
-storage hardware. It supports multi-tenancy by partitioning users or groups into
-logical volumes on shared storage. It enables users to eliminate, decrease, or
-manage their dependence on high-cost, monolithic and difficult-to-deploy storage arrays.
-You can add capacity in a matter of minutes across a wide variety of workloads without
-affecting performance. Storage can also be centrally managed across a variety of
-workloads, thus increasing storage efficiency.
