Lustre is an open-source, distributed parallel file system designed for
scalability, high-performance, and high-availability.

Lustre is purpose-built to provide a coherent, global POSIX-compliant
namespace for very large scale computer clusters, including the world's
largest supercomputer platforms.

It can support hundreds of petabytes of data storage and terabytes per
second in simultaneous, aggregate throughput.
