2. Storage area network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_area_network

   A storage area network ( SAN) or storage network is a computer network which provides access to consolidated, block-level data storage. SANs are primarily used to access data storage devices, such as disk arrays and tape libraries from servers so that the devices appear to the operating system as direct-attached storage.

3. Clustered file system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustered_file_system

   Shared-disk file system. A shared-disk file system uses a storage area network (SAN) to allow multiple computers to gain direct disk access at the block level.Access control and translation from file-level operations that applications use to block-level operations used by the SAN must take place on the client node.

4. List of file systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems

   Shared-disk file systems. Shared-disk file systems (also called shared-storage file systems, SAN file system, Clustered file system or even cluster file systems) are primarily used in a storage area network where all nodes directly access the block storage where the file system is located. This makes it possible for nodes to fail without ...

   BWFS can convert many FibreChannel or iSCSI disk arrays into a storage cluster that supports multi-server for parallel processing, provide high-performance and extensible file-sharing service, and sustains multi-machine workflow or applications under cluster environment. BWFS file system is realized in the mode of direct data access.

6. Network-attached storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage

   Network-attached storage ( NAS) is a file-level (as opposed to block-level storage) computer data storage server connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. The term "NAS" can refer to both the technology and systems involved, or a specialized device built for such functionality (as unlike ...

7. GFS2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFS2

   GFS2. In computing, the Global File System 2 or GFS2 is a shared-disk file system for Linux computer clusters. GFS2 allows all members of a cluster to have direct concurrent access to the same shared block storage, in contrast to distributed file systems which distribute data throughout the cluster. GFS2 can also be used as a local file system ...
