# Longhorn
Longhorn is a distributed block storage system built using the idea of associating every volume with its own storage controller. Each controller functions like a typical mirroring RAID controller. The storage controller and its associated replicas are implemented using containers and are managed using a container orchestration system.
Longhorn is a distributed block storage system built using containers and microservices. Longhorn creates a dedicated storage controller for each block device volume and sychronously replicates the volume across multiple replicas stored on multiple hosts. The storage controller and replicas are implemented using containers and are managed using a container orchestration system.
Longhorn is lightweight, reliable, and easy-to-use. It is particularly suitable as persistent storage for containers. It supports snapshots, backups, and even allows you to schedule recurring snapshots and backups!
Longhorn is experimental software. We appreciate your comments as we continue to work on it!
