Lustre

Lustre is a high-performance distributed file system used mainly in large-scale computing environments, like research centers or supercomputers. It allows multiple computers to access and share vast amounts of data simultaneously, acting like a centralized, ultra-fast storage network. Lustre splits files into smaller parts stored across multiple storage devices, enabling rapid data retrieval and high throughput. This makes it ideal for demanding applications such as scientific simulations, big data analysis, and engineering tasks where quick, reliable access to massive datasets is crucial.
