| Fact | MooseFS | XtreemFS |
|---|---|---|
| Security | MooseFS 5 adds cluster-wide authentication that gates data access through the master and prevents storage-layer bypass of export permissions. | It has built-in SSL and X.509 certificate support, and the site says it can run over the internet without a VPN. |
| Support | Commercial Pro includes 24/7 support from the developers, while Community support is community-driven discussion and documentation. | Users can ask questions on the public mailing list and report bugs through the GitHub bug tracker. |
Community is positioned for development, evaluation, and smaller deployments; Personal is intended for individual developers, researchers, and home-lab use. Organizations needing commercial support or deployment-specific pricing can request an Enterprise quote.
XtreemFS suits teams needing replicated, self-hosted file storage for clusters, virtual machines or sharing data across branches. It may also fit deployments seeking POSIX compatibility or a Hadoop client.
