      Proxmox

      • a open-source company at Vienna, which provides a linux cluster stack for kvm/lxc.
      • Proxmox file system (pmxfs) leverages the cluster protocol layer corosync: o the size is very limited, less than 30M. o It is the userspace cluster file system based on FUSE. o Sharing nothing = No shared storage.

      • Inspired Ideas ? o a shared clustered Kernel Space data structures ?

      Microsoft

      • Traditional Storage Spaces
      • Cluster Storage Spaces
      • Storage Spaces Direct – WS2016, Datacenter Edition, GA at Oct 2016

      • Scale-out Hyper Converged Infra. for Small-Medium Enterprise.

      • Features Parity: o a cluster up to 16 servers support Hyper-V rolling upgrade. o Disk Tiering (SSD + HDD) ==> bcache ? o ReFS combines mirroring(hot data) and erasure coding(cold data) ==> ceph/fs ? o Storage Replica replicates blocks instead of files ==> ceph ? o CSV cluster shared storage volumes with ReFS underline. o RDMA networking across nodes
