If the work of your organization is important and time-critical, you will want the foremost Lustre experts standing behind you to minimize the impact to your operations of any disruption – whether due to a hardware failure, administrator error, or a software bug.

Although Lustre has a vibrant user community, for sites with stringent operational requirements, nothing beats support from expert Lustre engineers. You can find that expertise at Whamcloud from the engineers who create and implement most of the new features and bug fixes landed to Lustre.

At Whamcloud, we specialize in Lustre and it shows in the quality of our support offerings.

Whamcloud Lustre Releases

Whamcloud produces feature releases and maintenance releases for Lustre:

  • A feature release contains new features and bug fixes. Feature releases are suitable for sites that wish to take advantage of Lustre features as soon as possible.
  • A maintenance release includes only bug fixes. Maintenance releases are suitable for sites that prefer the reassurance of a proven track record over access to the latest features.

Whamcloud produces quarterly maintenance releases for the designated Lustre maintenance release, which is currently Lustre 1.8.x.

At some point in the future, a Lustre 2.x release will become the designated maintenance release stream. However, Whamcloud will continue to provide support for the 1.8.x release until further notice and has no present plans to deprecate support for Lustre 1.8.x.

See the details for upcoming Whamcloud Lustre releases on the
Community Lustre Roadmap.
