TekkioFS
Shared filesystems form the backbone of many clustering technologies and are used for storing shared application data, configuration files, and virtual machine images. In the Tekkio ecosystem, this functionality is provided by TekkioFS, a purpose-built filesystem that combines resilience and network transparency. It features end-to-end checksumming, automated data scrubbing, and N-way metadata replication to protect against data corruption and ensure availability even if drives or entire nodes fail.

What sets TekkioFS apart from traditional network filesystems is its strong focus on data availability and durability on low-end, resource-constrained hardware. Where other network filesystems are engineered with the assumption of reliable storage hardware, stable power, and high-speed networks, TekkioFS is purpose-built to thrive under less-than-ideal conditions where transient errors, flaky connectivity, and even cluster-wide power outages are expected. As a result, TekkioFS focuses on dependable performance and robust data protection, making it an ideal choice for edge deployments and remote sites where resilience matters more than speed.

The data on TekkioFS filesystems can be further protected via a built-in periodic sync mechanism. When enabled, this feature can automatically replicate data to alternative storage targets such as inexpensive USB hard drives or remote, centralized data stores at your main datacenters. This adds an extra layer of resilience and flexibility, ensuring that critical data remains protected and recoverable, even in environments with limited infrastructure.
