Overview

Storage Foundation Cluster File System 5.0 provides a single file system schema that is cache coherent and POSIX compliant.With Storage Foundation Cluster File System, cluster-wide volume and file system configuration allows for simplified management – and extending clusters is simplified as new servers adopt cluster-wide configurations. Because all files can be accessed by all servers, applications can be allocated to servers to balance load or meet other operational requirements.
