SEEKING FEEDBACK ON ROADMAP Gluster is looking for feedback on its roadmap and priorities for 2011. In Q1, we have placed a heavy emphasis on packaging Gluster as a virtual appliance, and have released a Gluster Virtual Storage Appliance for VMWare, a Gluster Amazon Machine Image, and a Gluster Rightscale template. Our next point release will include a set of management and monitoring tools. Following that, our internal priorities are: -Continuous Data Replication (over WAN) -Improved User Interface -CIFS/Active Directory Support -Object storage (unified file and object) -Geo-replication to Amazon S3 (unify public and private cloud) -Continuous Data Protection -REST management API's -Enhanced support for ISCSi SANs Are these the right priorities? How would you prioritize? (We will be scheduling an IRC conference later this month). -Ben Golub (Gluster CEO), Anand Babu (Gluster founder & CTO), and Hitesh Chellani (Gluster Founder & VP)
