XTX Markets Open-Sources TernFS, Its Exabyte-Scale Distributed Filesystem
Quoting: XTX Markets Open-Sources TernFS, Its Exabyte-Scale Distributed Filesystem —
XTX Markets has announced that its in-house filesystem, TernFS, is now available as open-source software, under the GPL-2.0-or-later license for its core filesystem components and Apache-2.0 with LLVM exception for protocol definitions and client libraries
Originally built to handle the company’s massive data needs, TernFS is designed for exabyte-scale storage, supporting trillions of files and millions of clients at once.
And now, these capabilities are publicly available to everyone, as TernFS enters the landscape, joining projects like Ceph, Lustre, and GlusterFS that have long dominated the field. But before we continue, let’s shed some more light on the filesystem itself.
