compatible with current web, and even with current file systems!
It is a "content addressable" system, similar to Git and blockchains including Ethereum.
And it is much more than that, a completely generic "data graph" with immutable data,
that enables "faster than speed of light" data access (by pre-loading).
In addition, it has security and performance baked-in to design from start,
and open source team with access to leading distributed systems science!

InterPlanetary File System - Wikipedia
InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and network designed to create a content-addressable, peer-to-peer method of storing and sharing hypermedia in a distributed file system.[2]
Why it is named "Inter Planetary"?
Because it is designed to be able to provide effective access to web from Mars!
And if it can work well from other planet, it can make web work well on any place on Earth, too.
IPFS is mentioned in this Azure Podcast, apparently Microsoft is working on it:
Episode 254 - DevCon 4 from 11:50 to 14:50
ITFS is a pear-to-pear, decentralized content sharing network, where resources are identified by content hash value (like in Git and Docker), and hashes could be shared via block-chain or some other method.
All content is immutable (since content changes are changing hash), and new versions just point to previous versions. The reason Microsoft and enterprises are interested is to augment block-chain with larger size content, making "private IPFS networks.

Why do IPFS hashes start with "Qm"? · Issue #22 · ipfs/faq
"IPFS represents the hash of files and objects using Multihash format and Base58 encoding. The letters Qmhappen to correspond with the algorithm (SHA-256) and length (32 bytes) used by IPFS"

InterPlanetary File System @ ipfs.io
"IPFS is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. In some ways, IPFS is similar to the World Wide Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle directed acyclic graph (DAG). IPFS combines a distributed hash table, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other.[4] Distributed Content Delivery saves bandwidth and prevents DDoS attacks which HTTP struggles with."

Base58 - Wikipedia
"Base58 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes used to represent large integers as alphanumeric text, introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto for use with Bitcoin.[1] It has since been applied to other cryptocurrencies and applications. It is similar to Base64 but has been modified to avoid both non-alphanumeric characters and letters which might look ambiguous when printed..."
