Clustered File System

A clustered file system is a way to store and manage data across multiple computers (servers) as if they are part of a single system. It allows these servers to share access to files seamlessly, ensuring data consistency and avoiding conflicts. This setup improves performance, scalability, and reliability because it enables simultaneous data access and efficient resource use. Think of it as a collaborative library where multiple librarians can access, update, and organize books together without overlapping or losing track of information, maintaining orderly and secure data management across all servers.
