8 Lustre is an open-source, distributed parallel file system designed for
9 scalability, high-performance, and high-availability.
11 Lustre is purpose-built to provide a coherent, global POSIX-compliant
12 namespace for very large scale computer clusters, including the world's
13 largest supercomputer platforms.
15 It can support hundreds of petabytes of data storage and terabytes per
16 second in simultaneous, aggregate throughput.
