Gluster software commoditizes supercomputing and superstorage through GNU cluster distribution.
To run Gluster, you need a cluster of ia32 or x86-64 systems, with at least 512MB RAM (1GB recommended) each. Moreover, a supported GNU/Linux distribution must be pre-installed on the master node for GlusterHPC. Gluster supports several popular distributions such as Debian, Slackware, Redhat Enterprise, Fedora Core (1-4), and Ubuntu. Be aware that Gluster has some known issues, such as the need to install distributions without LVM/Software Raid, which are currently being worked on.
In the current release, Gluster comes with exciting features such as the Linux version 2.6.23.9 update, which ensures that it stays up-to-date with the latest technology trends. Additionally, new options such as booting master/slave in safe mode and disabling repeated characters on KVM over IP terminals have been added.
Overall, Gluster is an excellent tool for anyone looking to develop customized clustering applications for their data management needs. With its extensive compatibility and regular updates, it stands out as an ideal choice for many users.
