Hi Kunal, Welcome to the Gluster community! I hope you find much here to inspire you. You can also find some architectural documents here: http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Arch And the developers page, as Vijay pointed out. May I ask what your particular area of interest is? Welcome! JM Kunal Kushwaha <kunal.kushwaha@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Thanks Vijay and Gustavo, Your pointers are helpful.
