Open Lustre – New Organizations, Trends and Future Developments
Goals of European Open File Systems Initiative and relation to the US based organizations OpenSFS and HPCFS
In the video at the bottom of this page, Hugo R. Falter from EOFS presents Open Lustre -- New Organizations, Trends and Future Developments. Recorded June 17, 2011 at HP-CAST in Hamburg, Germany.
The EOFS (European Open File System) was founded on December 15 th, 2010 in Munich as a Non-Profit organization. The purpose of the European Open File System SCE is the promotion and servicing of the member's needs.
A MoU was signed between the three Open File Initiatives on this years International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg on June 22, in a EOFS breakfast session.
The overall goal is to have a parallel file system for HPC clusters available after ORACLE slashed the support of Lustre.
The message is:
“Lustre is alive and you have the freedom to choose it.”
