Passed in the research center IBM Almaden Research Center in October, 2010 Open Days within which the staff of the center acquaints visitors with its projects. The IBM Almaden center is known that in it the first distributed relational DBMS and the first algorithms of intelligent data analysis was created.
One of the present Almaden — Panache projects, clustered file system for global networks. Panache provides to the distributed applications including existing in different parts of the world, high-speed access to an extensive central pool of data. For access acceleration data are cached on nodes of the file system, and the changes made on one of nodes are replicated on the others, without causing the conflicts of data.[1]
According to developers, a system differs in very high level of parallelism. According to the description, Panache is the first file system using parallelism at all levels of the architecture: applications can update a cache at the same time on several nodes while those will execute transactions of input and output of data and metadata.
As specify in IBM, Panache could use the engineers from the different countries of the world working on the same project but also, using a distributed file system it would be possible to accelerate transfer of virtual machines of data processing between centers.
