Abstract

Background/Objectives: To analyze, find and interpret the current challenges in Distributed File Systems for research. Method/Statistical Analysis: With the immense growth of network applications a large amount of data existence is managed and stored. To process a huge amount data that is to be stored, a backend framework is required and for that DFS provides a central store for those data. As the amount of data being increased, the issue of proving efficient and easy to use solution arises and this issue is overcome using distributed file systems. Findings: In this research, an overview about various evolution of file system and how distributed file system is being used effectively in wide variety of network applications. DFS aims at sharing data and storing resources which is physically distributed on computers with a common file system. The main issues concerning the design of DFS such as fault tolerance, architecture, synchronization, consistency and replication and few others are also discussed in detail. It alsogives a comprehensive taxonomy of DFS in detail. Applications/Improvements: The encouraging results observed from this work serve as the motivation to apply future implementation of DFS within the context of current developments in distributed computing.
