| Cleversafe Dispersed Storage 
The Dispersed Storage Project uses information dispersal algorithms
IDAs to separate data into 11 unrecognizable DataSlices and distribute
them, via secure Internet connections, to 11 storage locations
throughout the world, creating a storage grid. With dispersed storage,
transmission and storage of data is inherently private and secure. No
single entire copy of the data is in one location, and only 6 out of
the 11 nodes need to be available in order to perfectly retrieve the
data.
Data on the grid remains private and secure in the face of natural
catastrophes, or failures of hardware, connection, facility, or IT
management. Moreover, the individual data slices do not carry enough
information for an unauthorized viewer to determine the original
content.

| Cleversafe Dispersed Storage Grid File System
The dsgfs project will enable a dispersed storage grid, such as the Cleversafe Research Storage Grid,
a freely available, multi-terabyte globally dispersed storage grid, to
appear as an ultra-reliable, durable hard drive to a Linux application.
Using the dsgfs, users will be able to seamlessly store data on the
Cleversafe Research Storage Grid, on a commercial grid or on a grid
they build themselves. dsgfs initially will support various versions of
Linux, including Debian, Fedora and CentOS.

| Dispersed Storage Application Programmer Interface
The Dispersed Storage Application Programmer Interface (DSAPI) is a multi-layered interface for use by client software, or Connectors. Connectors enable various data types or applications to easily utilize a Dispersed Storage grid.
DSAPI is written in C++. See DSAPI Language Bindings for development plans for other languages.
As of August 2006, DSAPI is a work in progress.

| Openfiler
Openfiler is a Storage Management Operating System. It is powered by the Linux 2.6 kernel and Open Source applications such as Apache, Samba, LVM2, ext3, Linux NFS and iSCSI Enterprise Target. Openfiler combines these ubiquitous technologies into a small, easy to manage solution fronted by a powerful web-based management interface. Openfiler allows you to build a Network Attached Storage (NAS) and/or Storage Area Network (SAN) appliance, using industry-standard hardware, in less than 10 minutes of installation time.

| openNAS
Project aims:
Starting from a running system, to define general procedures and programs
for generate a live version of this system, booting from solid state devices.
This phase is almost concluded and it is based on www.linux-live.org scripts.
These scripts were modified to support Debian Linux and to generate bootable pendrives.
Creation of web interfaces for NAS administration by re-using known technologies
like Webmin. These interfaces should simplify the configuration work, defining good
metaphors for complex administration tasks like RAID setup, partitioning and file
system exporting.

| Samba
Samba is an Open Source/Free Software
suite that has, since 1992,
provided file and print services to all manner of SMB/CIFS clients,
including the numerous versions of Microsoft Windows operating
systems. Samba is freely available under the
GNU General Public License.

| ZFS
ZFS is a new kind of file system that provides simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and immense scalability. ZFS presents a pooled storage model that completely eliminates the concept of volumes and the associated problems of partitions, provisioning, wasted bandwidth and stranded storage. |
