+Questa guida e' dedicata a GlusterFS (d'ora in poi citato Gluster)::
+
+ GlusterFS is an free / open source clustered file system capable of scaling to several petabytes and handling thousands of clients. GlusterFS clusters together storage building blocks, aggregating disk and memory resources and managing data in a single global namespace.
+
+ A key advantage is the GlusterFS modular architecture that allows modules to be stacked to match user requirements. You can use GlusterFS to quickly configure a standalone server system and later expand the system as your needs grow.
+
+ GlusterFS includes a configuration utility to handle standard workloads. This document describes how to select the appropriate options for your needs and install and configure GlusterFS to best support them.
