OpenCloud comes with a never before seen level of integration with the underlying storage system. It allows transparently accessing files on a posix filesystem. The new driver allows users to either work with OpenCloud or use external tools that directly access files on the storage. Local filesystems as well as enterprise network filesystems have already been integrated. OpenCloud picks up changes in real time and notifies all clients that have access. In this presentation we will show the available options and explain some of the technical details.
