cluStore is a non-disruptive, flexible and easy-to-use clustering software tool that lets you combine multiple storage resources into a single virtual volume - the storage cluster - that users can access through a universal mount point. cluStore helps you take a proactive approach for dealing with the never-ending capacity growth challenge and associated storage management issues. Instead of constantly putting out fires by deleting or shuffling files around, use cluStore to create an organic storage cluster that you can expand live while in use, without affecting users. You’ll soon wonder how you managed without it.

cluStore changes the way users interact with the available storage resources.  Instead of accessing data through individual volumes, cluStore provides users with a single virtual volume from which they can access everything.

Individual volumes that participate in a cluster are referred to as "members".  Upon adding a member to a cluster, the original volume dismounts from the desktop before its content appears inside the cluster.  When browsing the cluster, users to not see the individual members.  Instead, they see all content, from all members, logically merged, as if all files and folders had been copied on a new volume.

cluStore does not create, store or manipulate metadata or other critical information.  It simply keeps track of members participating in a given cluster.  If this information is lost or corrupted, there is no risk of losing data as it is always possible to reassemble the cluster.  Files written to a cluster are always stored on one of its members.  Simple runtime policies are used to instruct cluStore where and how to write content.  When disconnecting a member from the cluster, there is no risk to lose data.  Of course, files contained on this member will no longer be accessible from the cluster, until the member is reconnected again.  Meanwhile, this member's content can be accessed through any connected computer.
