*Inaugural OpenSFS Meeting At SC10 To Promote Open Parallel File System
Advancement & Community Participation*
HPC Industry Leaders To Host Session On The Lustre File System and Open
Source Collaboration
*Livermore, California, October 28, 2010 ? * OpenSFS, a non-profit
corporation focused on advancing the collaborative development of
open-source parallel file system technologies, today announced its first
annual SC Informational Meeting to be scheduled at this year?s SC10
International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage
and Analysis in New Orleans, LA. At this open session, OpenSFS members and
prospective members are invited to participate in a forum designed to
introduce this newly-formed and substantially-funded organization and its
focus on the Lustre? open source parallel file system.
At this first formal meeting of the OpenSFS organization, members of the
Lustre community will engage in a structured series of discussions that will
span several of current topics, including:
? End-user perspective on the status of the Lustre support and
development ecosystem
? Organizational structure, objectives and development framework
? Sustainable long-term file system evolution initiatives through
coordinated investment and community development
? Community engagement opportunities and consortium participation
?The OpenSFS consortium has been designed from the ground up to provide a
positive long-term benefit to Lustre users through the coordinated
requirements gathering and investment from the worldwide user community.?
said Norm Morse, CEO of OpenSFS. ?The organization has been designed to
very openly engage users of all sizes. With membership fees as low as
$5,000 annually ? stakeholders are provided a forum to influence the future

high-end, open-source file system technologies. The goals of the
organization are to provide a forum for collaboration among entities
deploying file systems on leading edge HPC systems, to communicate future
requirements to open-source file system developers, and to support file
system releases which have been designed to meet these goals. The
group''s
initial focus is the Lustre parallel file system, which supports many of the
requirements of leadership class HPC simulation environments, has a diverse
development community and is open-source software.
Founded by Cray Inc., Data Direct Networks (DDN) Inc., Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory (LLNL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), OpenSFS
draws from over $2 million of combined funding to ensure substantial and
sustained community benefit through advancing the stability, usability and

[Lustre-discuss] OpenSFS Information Meeting In Parallel With SC10
stakeholder: Please consider making SNS a top priority. After waiting several years we (I am sure many others) are migrating to other more fault tolerant filesystems.
