In Big Data computing, proprietary distributed file systems which are optimised for maximising efficiency for a particular set of applications can be used. The Google File System (GFS) cluster is an example of such a distributed file system. Explain the architecture of the GFS cluster and suggest TWO ways in which this architecture is optimal for some type of applications?
