As storage is added, storage volumes are automatically  \trebalanced across the cluster making it always available online  \tregardless of changes to the underlying hardware.<br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Gluster Console Manager:<\/strong> the Command Line  \tInterface (CLI), Application Programming Interface (API) and shell are  \tmerged into a single powerful interface, enabling automation by giving  \tthe CLI higher level API\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and scripting capabilities. Languages such as \tPython, Ruby or PHP can be used to script a series of commands that are \tinvoked through the command line. This new tool requires no new APIs  \tand is able to script out and rapidly automate any information inserted  \tin the CLI allowing cloud administrators the ability to simply automate  \tlarge scale operations.<br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Native Network File System (NFS):<\/strong> including a  native NFS v3 module which allows storage servers to communicate  \tnatively with NFS clients directly to any storage server in the cluster  \tand simultaneously communicates NFS and the Gluster protocol. NFS  \trequires no specialized training, making it simple and easy to deploy.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about Gluster you can visit <a title=\"Gluster1.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gluster.com\" target=\"_blank\">Gluster.com<\/a>, you can also visit <a title=\"Gluster.org\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gluster.org\" target=\"_blank\">Gluster.org<\/a> if you want to get more familiar with the open source side of the Gluster house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the team over at Gluster.com announced the availability of version of Gluster 3.1 of their software.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 There are currently two different offerings available from Gluster.\u00c2\u00a0 There is the Gluster Storage Platform, known as &#8216;GlusterSP&#8217; which provides a Linux based bare metal installer, web based front end, etc. They also offer &#8216;Glusterfs&#8217; which they release [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8,3,13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":329,"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310\/revisions\/329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shainmiley.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
