Cynk is a hybrid file system using rsync and SSH for data-intensive cloud computing. By automatically synchronizing the local file system with a cloud storage, Cynk enables users to transparently access local/remote data when they are online and continue working when disconnected from network. The hybrid architecture of Cynk means that it can allow users to simutaneously access locally synchronized/cached data or online remote data over the network via a uniform file system interface. Cynk uses the rsync tool with a partially reasoning based protocol to synchronize files from local to remote file systems and vice versa. It only requires the installation of client on local side. By seamlessly bridging the local file system and cloud storage, Cynk especially simplifies the work cycle of developing, testing, and deploying data-intensive applications.Cynk is a hybrid file system using rsync and SSH for data-intensive cloud computing.
