Name : xrootd Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 3.3.4 Release : 1.el6 URL : http://xrootd.org/ Summary : Extended ROOT file server Description : The Extended root file server consists of a file server called xrootd and a cluster management server called cmsd.
The xrootd server was developed for the root analysis framework to serve root files. However, the server is agnostic to file types and provides POSIX-like access to any type of file.
The cmsd server is the next generation version of the olbd server, originally developed to cluster and load balance Objectivity/DB AMS database servers. It provides enhanced capability along with lower latency and increased throughput.
