Definition: Distributed File System is a Technology Service that implements the behaviour of a software tool that allows access to files from multiple computers in a distributed network Source: Inspired in Gartner Source reference: https://www.gartner.com/reviews/market/distributed-file-systems-and-object-storage Example: The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB): MooseFS is a Fault-tolerant, Highly available, Highly performing, Scaling-out, Network distributed file system. It spreads data over several physical commodity servers, which are visible to the user as one virtual disk. It is POSIX compliant and acts like any other Unix-like file system supporting: -Hierarchical structure: Files and Folders, -File attributes, -Special files: Pipes, Sockets, Block and Character devices, -Symbolic and Hard links, -Security attributes and ACLs. https://moosefs.com/ eira:iopDimension: Structural IoP LOST view: TVI-Data Management and Knowledge Discovery Infrastructure Enablers [Motivation] Identifier: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/DistributedFileSystemTechnologyService eira:ID: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/DistributedFileSystemTechnologyService ABB name: eira:DistributedFileSystemTechnologyService EIRA concept: eira:ArchitectureBuildingBlock
