Gartner Magic Quadrant – 7th Consecutive Year Leader (Oct’22)!!
“Distributed file systems and object storage deployments are
growing faster than ever in both volume and size as the
consolidated platform for unstructured data services in
global data center.”
“By 2026, large enterprises will triple their unstructured data

capacity stored as file or object storage on-premises, at the
edge or in the public cloud, compared to 2022.”
“Dell Technologies has the broadest portfolio of products

and builds on insights gathered from the largest installed
base in the market to address the challenges of
unstructured data.”

8. The second DataNode copies the data to the third DataNode
9. If all the data for a block has been written, it will report back to
NameNode that it is complete
10. For the second block, the same is done, all blocks are finished, close
the file, and NameNode will persist the data to disk
