melio fs: advantages

• Simple to administer—one “pool” of storage instead of dozens or hundreds of “puddles”.


• Inherent redundancy—if a server fails, another server can access the data the failed server was using and continue running the application.


• Flexibility-all servers can be given access to all data, allowing storage and compute resources to be quickly reassigned among projects - No more storage-server “silos” with low utilization.


• Many applications can grow by adding additional small cheap servers instead of moving to a larger, expensive server.


• Shared access to data—all servers can directly access the most recent data—no need to make and manage multiple copies.


• Security—consistent security protocol that defines which users can access which data across the entire storage pool.
