MooseFS doesn’t target a single vertical. It runs anywhere a team needs a fault-tolerant, POSIX file system that scales on commodity hardware — from genomics labs storing petabytes of DNA sequencing data, to internet TV broadcasters streaming 24/7, to hosting providers building hyperconverged infrastructure. The industries below are the ones our customers have shared publicly; each card links through to their story.
If your industry isn’t listed and you’re wondering whether MooseFS fits, get in touch — the use case is almost always familiar even if the label isn’t.
Each industry below maps to one or more customer stories on the testimonials page. Follow the “See customers” link on a card to jump straight to that section.
Sequencing facilities and statistical-genomics groups use MooseFS to absorb the exponential data growth of modern DNA work — petabytes of reads, atomic snapshots for reproducible analyses, and hot-swappable disks so the storage layer never blocks the science.
Hosting providers and managed-service operators run MooseFS to deliver reliable backup, archiving, and file storage to their own customers — with erasure coding to keep the cost per usable terabyte down.
Teams building hyperconverged stacks — compute, network, and storage on the same nodes — lean on MooseFS for the storage tier: hot-swappable hardware, minimal downtime, and fault tolerance that lets a node drop without taking the service with it.
Webinar platforms record and play back millions of small media files every day — the kind of workload that punishes traditional NAS. MooseFS spreads the load across all nodes so concurrent recording and on-demand playback both stay fast.
Internet TV operators serve 24/7 on-demand video from MooseFS clusters built on commodity hardware. The parallel, distributed design means a single popular title doesn’t bottleneck on one disk or one server.
Hosted-email providers store mailboxes on MooseFS to eliminate single points of failure: data is redundantly placed across servers, and clusters can span sites so a data-center outage doesn’t take the inbox down.
Storage and content-delivery operators run MooseFS as the bulk back-end — double-replicated data, automatic recovery, and integrity verification across years of continuous operation.
Analytics platforms ingest hundreds of thousands of events per second and need somewhere to land them durably. MooseFS has been doing exactly that at Gemius since 2005 — 6 PB of historical internet-traffic data and 300,000 events per second, 24/7.
Robotics research groups store large 3D point-cloud datasets on MooseFS for algorithm verification and safety work — capacities that grow quickly, on hardware that has to keep up without weeks of procurement.
The testimonials page collects the public stories from the customers running MooseFS in production. If you’d like to talk about your own deployment — sizing, licensing, or a specific use case — request a quote and we’ll come back with a written reply.
