Lustre is a massively parallel filesystem typically used in domains where high-performance, large-scale data is critical.

Lustre is mature, free and open source. Fifteen of top 30 and seven of top ten world supercomputers use Lustre filesystem as storage, including the fastest: Tianhe-1A at the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin, China; second fastest Jaguar at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

If you need lots of data, fast, Lustre might be the right choice for you.
