[Gluster-users] How about quality of GluterFS?

[Count Zero]

Hey Craig,

Can you tell me what CDN uses Gluster at the moment?

Because here's the thing, the way I see it:

1) The point of a CDN, is to distribute content to "far away and hard to reach" places that are closer to the users who need the content,
2) As a consequence of (1), the latency between the CDN nodes, or data centers, will usually be high,
3) As a consequence of (2), Gluster can not currently be practically used and becomes super slow...

I would love to be proven wrong, or even better, shown some sample configurations that demonstrate how a CDN might replicate their data across their data centers, despite the relatively high latency (around 100ms).
