The demands on a heterogeneous distributed file system are outlined, and the design and implementation of a prototype to meet these demands are described.

This prototype, the heterogeneous computer systems file system (HFS), provides a network-wide file system supporting a simple record-oriented file model.

The Andrew File System (AFS) is a distributed file system which uses a set of trusted servers to present a homogeneous, location-transparent file name space ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an extensible distributed file system framework, YaFS, using heterogeneous online storage services as its back-ends.

Given a file and a distributed system, S-FAS allocates fragments of the file to as many different types of nodes as possible in the system. Data confidentiality ...

Work in Progress – WiSeR Distributed File System for Heterogeneous Sensor ... based file systems, journal file systems and hash based file systems are some ...

Current file systems, however, typically distribute data into available devices by placing them into a hierarchy according to performance, and using prefetching ...

Real-world distributed systems are often heterogeneous. It is impossible to keep sufficiently large systems running the same version of the OS at all times.

Our approach relies on a set of new techniques for managing adaptive access to remote files, including three components: system support for secure, transpar-.

An open-source, scalable, decentralized, robust, heterogeneous file storage solution which is fault tolerant, replicated, distributed and lets you upload, ...
