MongoDB Replica Sets and Sharding for GridFS as a Distributed File System
Contrary to many MongoDB deployments, we primarily use it for storing files in GridFS. We switched over to MongoDB after searching for a good distributed file system for years. Prior to MongoDB we used a regular NFS share, sitting on top of a HAST-device. That worked great, but it didn't allow us to scale horizontally the way a distributed file system allows.
