We have used Gluster for small deployments, but lately we have changed our mind. Basically we have bet on Gluster for 2013 because of:
- 10GbE everywhere, and Gluster MUST run in 10GbE (or Infiniband) - 3.3 release fixes some issues when locking big files: Granular locking - libgfapi reborn, no more FUSE overhead - QEMU 1.3 comes with GlusterFS block driver http://raobharata.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/qemu-glusterfs-native-integration/ - Success cases everywhere Regarding our tests, NetApp and Nexenta outperforms Gluster, but let's say we now can live with this performance penalty because cost per bit and horizontal scalability are really good.
