Basically, I've gotten coursework at my university to consider and start using a distributed file system for storing large amounts of crystal diffraction images. It would need to have multiple copies of the files distributed in case one of the servers goes down and be scalable as it will be always increasing. I've looked into things like LOCKSS[1] and IPFS[2] but LOCKSS seems to be limiting itself to storing articles and IPFS doesn't provide the data reliability in case one of the nodes goes down. Did anyone ever encounter a similar task and what did you use for that?
