I have a network of 20 machines
, running Ubuntu 10.04.
Each machine has about 200[GB] of data that I'd like to share with all other 19 machines
for READ ONLY PURPOSES. The reading should be done at the fastest possible way.
A friend told me to look into setting up HTTP / FTP. Is it indeed the optimal way to share data between the machines (better than NFS)? if so, how do I go about it?
Is there a python
module that would help in accessing/reading the data?
UPDATE: Just to clarify, all I want is to be able (from within machine X
) to access one of machine Y
s files and LOAD IT INTO MEMORY. all of the files are of uniform size (500 [KB]). Which method is fastest (SAMBA / NFS / HTTP / FTP)?
