IBM's General Parallel File System (GPFS) for AIX allows users shared access to files that can span multiple disk drives on multiple nodes. GPFS allows parallel applications simultaneous access to either the same or different files from any node in the GPFS nodeset (a nodeset is defined as a group of nodes that run the same level of GPFS). It is designed to provide a common file system abstraction for data that is being shared among all the nodes in a cluster and allows applications to easily access files, utilizing standard UNIX file system interfaces.
