Distributed file source

Question

Looking for a software solution to to store large files (>50MB - 1.5GB), distributed across multiple servers. We have looked at MogileFS, however, given existing software demands, need to have an NFS interface. Would prefer open source, however, open to all options.

Answer 1

If you have only a small number of servers, you could try rsync. Couple it with SSH for some security.

Answer 2

did you look at Hadoop DFS? it's much more then distributed file system but should be good for very big files.
