nofootnotes date September 2008 In computing, the term object based filesystem refers to an architectural blueprint for List of file systems Distributed file systems distributed file systems . An object based filesystem splits file metadata such as the filename, its size and access times from file data and stores them on different File server servers . File metadata is stored on metadata servers, the file data is split into so called objects and stored on object storage servers. The filesystem client employs metadata and object storage servers to present a full filesystem Abstraction computer science abstraction to the User computing users . The object based filesystem architecture has several advantages The filesystem Client computing client accesses file content directly via object storage servers. Metadata servers are only contacted once when the file is opened, thereby eliminating the metadata bottleneck of block based distributed file systems. The size of these objects can usually be configured on per file basis. This allows the stripe width to be adapted to the access properties of an individual file when the objects of a file are Data striping striped across multiple object storage servers. File systems that follow an object based architecture include Lustre filesystem Lustre and EXOFS exofs .

orphan date August 2010 The Fusion Flash FileSystem is a filesystem for computer s, using embedded Flash memory , written in ANSI C , targeted at embedded system uses where Flash, Random access memory RAM or Read only memory ROM is used for the file Data storage device storage media . It uses a OSI model layered device driver Computer architecture architecture , using a simple binding model, to allow operating system agnostic or independent Porting portability meaning that the filesystem is compatible with most operating systems and is thus not bound to any one Real time operating system RTOS . As embedded file systems typically require low memory usage, Fusion is compact. The memory is also fully dynamic, not a read only ROM style filesystem. According to the vendor s web site, it is Multithreading computer hardware multithread capable and File Allocation Table FAT12 FAT16 FAT32 compatible. It also features wear leveling , post Error detection and correction error correction and data compression . As with many commercial file systems, Fusion FileSystem is accompanied by a full suite of supporting software modules which include error correction, file compression, Fusion Standard C lib , driver model and an I O manager.

The Formatted FileSystem FFS is the name of a series of Database Management System Database Management Systems DBMS developed for military use and designed to run on IBM mainframe computers. The period from 1964 to 1968 saw the transition from isolated DBMS development efforts to the development of DBMS families. The Formatted FileSystem is one such family. Others included General Electric s Integrated Data Store IDS family, and the MARK IV Software Mark IV series developed by Informatics General Informatics Inc. later acquired by Sterling Software . These families were developed across organizations and branches of government, spreading and evolving with their primary developers.

StorNext FileSystem is a List of file systems shared disk filesystem made by Quantum Corporation . It is installed on hosts that are connected to the same disk array in a storage area network SAN . Client systems are not required to run the same operating system to access a shared filesystem containing StorNext data. As of January 2008, the operating systems with available client software are Microsoft Windows , Mac OS X as Xsan developed by Apple , Red Hat Linux , SuSE Linux , HP UX , Solaris operating system Solaris , AIX , and IRIX . StorNext is used in environments where large files must be shared by users without network delays, or where a file must be available for access by multiple readers starting at different times. An example of the former is analysis of real time satellite image data. An example of the latter is on demand access of a movie stored on disk. The original name was CentraVision FileSystem CVFS . It was created by MountainGate Imaging Systems Corporation to provide fast data transfer between Windows and IRIX computers. Advanced Digital Information Corporation acquired MountainGate in September 1999, added additional client types, and changed the name to StorNext FileSystem. The first new clients were Solaris and Linux. In August 2006 Quantum acquired ADIC.

In computing MPFS Multi Protocol FileSystem is a multi path NAS network filesystem technology developed by EMC. MPFS is intended to allow hundreds to thousands of client computer nodes to access shared computer data with higher performance than conventional NAS file sharing protocols such as Network FileSystem protocol NFS . Application MPFS technology is intended for HPC High Performance Computing environments. In these environments many computer nodes require concurrent access to data sets. This technology can be used to store and access data for grid computing , where the individual computing power of many systems is combined to perform a single process. Example uses include processing geological data, voice recognition datasets, and modal processing. Virtualized computing environments will also benefit from high performance shared storage. Benefits MPFS provides a 3 4X performance increase over conventional NAS. No modifications to the client application need to be made to leverage this technology. Files can be shared between NAS clients with or without NFS simultaneously. NAS data can be accessed at speeds limited only by the storage device. Reduced filesystem and protocol overhead Image MPFSi protocol overhead.gif How it works MPFS consists of an agent on the client system and a compatible NAS storage system. The client agent splits the data and meta data for the file being requested. This is done using an FMP File Mapping Protocol Requests for the data and its location is sent over conventional NFS to the NAS system. Data is sent and retrieved directly from the storage device via iSCSI or Fibre Channel . Retrieving the data directly from the storage device increases performance by eliminating the filesystem and protocol overhead associated with NFS or CIFS.
