Name	By	License	OS	Description

Alluxio	UC Berkeley, Alluxio	Apache License 2.0	cross-platform	An open-source virtual distributed file system (VDFS).

BeeGFS (formerly FhGFS)	Fraunhofer Society	Open-source (GPLv2 & BeeGFS EULA)	Linux	A free to use file system with optional professional support, designed for easy usage and high performance, used on some of the fastest computer clusters in the world.

Ceph	Inktank Storage, a company acquired by Red Hat	LGPL	Linux kernel	A massively scalable object store. CephFS was merged into the Linux kernel in 2010.

Chiron FS	It's a FUSE-based, transparent replication file system, layering on an existing file system and implementing at the file system level what RAID 1 does at the device level.

CloudStore	Kosmix	Apache License 2.0	Google File System workalike. Replaced by Quantcast File System (QFS)

dCache	DESY and others	A write once filesystem, accessible via various protocols.

General Parallel File System (GPFS)	IBM	proprietary	AIX, Linux and Windows	Support replication between attached block storage. Symmetric or asymmetric (configurable).

Gfarm file system	Asia Pacific Grid	X11 License	Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD and Solaris	Uses OpenLDAP or PostgreSQL for metadata and FUSE or LUFS for mounting.

GlusterFS	Gluster, a company acquired by Red Hat	GNU General Public License v3	Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris	A general purpose distributed file system for scalable storage. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system.

Google File System (GFS)	Google	internal software	Focus on fault tolerance, high throughput and scalability.

Hadoop Distributed File System	Apache Software Foundation	Apache License 2.0	Cross-platform	Open source GoogleFS clone.

IBRIX Fusion	IBRIX	proprietary software

Infinit	Infinit International, Inc	proprietary	cross-platform	A POSIX-compliant file system for both local area network and wide area networks. Infinit replicates blocks of data between the various storage resources composing the infrastructure (being local or through cloud API) in order to guarantee data reliability (durability and availability) through Byzantine fault tolerance and data rebalancing (i.e.

LizardFS	Skytechnology	GPL	cross-platform	An open source, highly available POSIX-compliant file system that supports Windows clients.

Lustre	originally developed by Cluster File Systems and currently supported by OpenSFS	GPL	Linux	A POSIX-compliant, high-performance filesystem used on a majority of systems in the Top-500 list of HPC systems. Lustre has high availability via storage failover.

MapR FS	MapR	Proprietary	Linux	Highly scalable, POSIX compliant, fault tolerant, read/write filesystem with a distributed, fault tolerant metadata service. It provides an HDFS and NFS interface to clients as well as a noSQL table interface and Apache Kafka compatible messaging system.

MooseFS	Core Technology	GPLv2 / proprietary	cross-platform (Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, macOS, OpenSolaris)	MooseFS is a fault tolerant, highly available and high performance scale-out network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical commodity x86 servers, which are visible to the user as one namespace.

ObjectiveFS	Objective Security Corporation	proprietary	Linux, macOS	POSIX-compliant shared distributed filesystem. Uses object store as a backend. Runs on AWS S3, GCS and object store devices.

OneFS distributed file system	Isilon	FreeBSD	BSD-based OS on dedicated Intel based hardware, serving NFS v3 and SMB/CIFS to Windows, macOS, Linux and other UNIX clients under a proprietary software.

OIO-FS	OpenIO	Proprietary	Linux	OIO-FS provides file-oriented access to OpenIO SDS object storage backend. It is based on FUSE technology and presents a POSIX file system to users.

PanFS	Panasas	Proprietary	Linux, macOS, FreeBSD	A POSIX-compliant, high-performance, parallel filesystem used by HPC clusters. It uses erasure coding and snapshots for data protection, is based upon a scale-out object store, and is focused on transparent failure recovery and ease of use.

RozoFS	Rozo Systems	GNU GPLv2	Linux	A POSIX DFS focused on fault-tolerance and high-performance, based on the Mojette erasure code to reduce significantly the amount of redundancy (compared to plain replication).

Scality	Scality ring	Proprietary software	Linux	A POSIX file system focused on high availability and performance. Also provides S3/REST/NFS interfaces.

Tahoe-LAFS	Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation	GNU GPL 2+ and other	Windows, Linux, macOS	A secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant, peer-to-peer distributed data store and distributed file system.

WekaIO Matrix	WekaIO	Proprietary software	Linux	An extreme performance, NVMe-optimized parallel filesystem that includes Distributed Coding (similar to Erasure Coding), instantaneous snapshots, tiering to S3 datastores, runs in the cloud or on-prem.

XtreemFS	Contrail E.U. project, the German MoSGrid project and the German project "First We Take Berlin"	open-source (BSD)	Linux, Solaris, macOS, Windows	A cross-platform file system for wide area networks. It replicates the data for fault tolerance and caches metadata and data to improve performance over high-latency links.
