Online Cloud Storage
PersistentFS is a fast and efficient POSIX-compliant file system that provides unlimited online storage in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) storage cloud.
A PersistentFS file system can be mounted on any Linux computer connected to the internet and accessed like local storage. All data written to the file system is uploaded to Amazon S3 for reliable and cost effective off-site storage, while remaining instantly accessible. This allows you to take advantage of Amazon S3 using your existing software, without writing a single line of code.
Applications
- Persistent storage for the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
Store EC2 data on a PersistentFS mount point where it is continuously backed up to S3, remains stored on S3 even after the EC2 instance is terminated, and is instantly available again when the file system is remounted.
- Online backup and archiving
Expand your online storage without purchasing costly SAN or NAS devices. Mount a PersistentFS file system on any Linux computer connected to the internet, and have unlimited online storage seamlessly integrated with local storage. Use rsync or any other tool to backup up data, and have it instantly accessible when needed.

Some comments from our users

"Your product is the bees knees."
"PersistentFS is an amazing product. I installed it within 10 minutes. The product works so well that we decided to load all our application data directly into the PersistentFS mount. Its been four hours and I see no sign of a performance drop. This is product is a must for anyone who wants to securely and efficiently persist their data, whether its a few gigs or multiple terabytes."
"I can hardly find words for your ripping fast support via email, which renders all trouble ticket systems on earth useless.... I give up testing, because I cannot find a single problem. Thank you for this brilliant tool!"
"PersistentFS...is pure-breed magic. It’s fast like a race horse just after it had its vitamins and all your files are right there when you remount it. It’s truly indistinguishable from the black arts. Don’t go and ruin it by commenting on how it probably has some kind of smart caching going on, just let me enjoy it for a while. Heck, go try it yourself. It’s a lot of fun, if you’re a nerd. Excellent piece of engineering." - noehr.org
