Lustre: Stronger-than-Ever

Clearly, Lustre* will continue to dominate the persistent parallel file system arena, at least for a few years. The development of such complex technology doesn’t flow as quickly as for many other applications, and even though parallel file systems may soon be replaced, a gap would still exist until that technology would be available. DDN® announced in November 2016 that all its Lustre features would be merged into the Lustre master branch to allow the entire community to have more transparent access to the code, reducing the overhead of code development management and better aligning with the latest advancements.
