[Gluster-users] How about quality of GluterFS?

[Craig Carl]

While I can't talk about specific customers or their configurations, an CDN-type organization wouldn't typically use Gluster as a method to copy files to all their distribution points, but they would use Gluster to make each distribution point faster and more available. 



Thanks, 

Craig

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).

Sir - 
Gluster is used by several of the largest CDNs in the world as a step in the distribution process. Could you be more specific as to what you are looking for?

I have a question to prepare apply Gluster for my project: 


If GluterFS is enough STRONG to do a FileHosting service, like RapidShare, MegaUpload ...? 


Thank you!
