Doesn’t google have its very own version of dfs?

Answer Posted / Sunita Yadav

"Yes". Google's distributed file system is called the Google File System (GFS). It was developed internally by Google to handle their massive data storage and processing needs. GFS has some similarities with Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) but also several key differences, such as its focus on stream-oriented I/O and colocation of chunks for better performance.
