  • Shared File Systems: Determining the Best Choice for Your Distributed SAS® Foundation Applications Margaret Crevar, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC
    Paper SAS569-2017 Shared File Systems: Determining the Best Choice for your Distributed SAS® Foundation Applications Margaret Crevar, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC ABSTRACT If you are planning on deploying SAS® Grid Manager and SAS® Enterprise BI (or other distributed SAS® Foundation applications) with load balanced servers on multiple operating systems instances, , a shared file system is required. In order to determine the best shared file system choice for a given deployment, it is important to understand how the file system is used, the SAS® I/O workload characteristics performed on it, and the stressors that SAS Foundation applications produce on the file system. For the purposes of this paper, we use the term "shared file system" to mean both a clustered file system and shared file system, even though" shared" can denote a network file system and a distributed file system – not clustered. INTRODUCTION This paper examines the shared file systems that are most commonly used with SAS and reviews their strengths and weaknesses. SAS GRID COMPUTING REQUIREMENTS FOR SHARED FILE SYSTEMS Before we get into the reasons why a shared file system is needed for SAS® Grid Computing, let’s briefly discuss the SAS I/O characteristics. GENERAL SAS I/O CHARACTERISTICS SAS Foundation creates a high volume of predominately large-block, sequential access I/O, generally at block sizes of 64K, 128K, or 256K, and the interactions with data storage are significantly different from typical interactive applications and RDBMSs. Here are some major points to understand (more details about the bullets below can be found in this paper): SAS tends to perform large sequential Reads and Writes.

    DESIGNING HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND SCALABLE CLUSTERED NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE WITH INFINIBAND DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ranjit Noronha, MS * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dhabaleswar K. Panda, Adviser Ponnuswammy Sadayappan Adviser Feng Qin Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering c Copyright by Ranjit Noronha 2008 ABSTRACT The Internet age has exponentially increased the volume of digital media that is being shared and distributed. Broadband Internet has made technologies such as high quality streaming video on demand possible. Large scale supercomputers also consume and cre- ate huge quantities of data. This media and data must be stored, cataloged and retrieved with high-performance. Researching high-performance storage subsystems to meet the I/O demands of applications in modern scenarios is crucial. Advances in microprocessor technology have given rise to relatively cheap off-the-shelf hardware that may be put together as personal computers as well as servers. The servers may be connected together by networking technology to create farms or clusters of work- stations (COW). The evolution of COWs has significantly reduced the cost of ownership of high-performance clusters and has allowed users to build fairly large scale machines based on commodity server hardware. As COWs have evolved, networking technologies like InfiniBand and 10 Gigabit Eth- ernet have also evolved. These networking technologies not only give lower end-to-end latencies, but also allow for better messaging throughput between the nodes. This allows us to connect the clusters with high-performance interconnects at a relatively lower cost.

  • Sistemi Di Storage: Clustered Filesystems
    Agenda ● Clustered Filesystems ● Block and Object: The Storage Evolution ● Introduzione a GlusterFS Sistemi di Storage: Clustered Filesystems Un clustered file system è un file system che può essere collegato contemporaneamente a più server. Ci sono diversi metodi per creare un cluster di server ma la maggior parte di questi non prevede l'uso del cluster file system. Quando, però, il numero di nodi cresce e la complessità del cluster aumenta, il ricorso al clustered file system come risorsa condivisa può essere la soluzione più efficace. Che cos'è un Cluster? Definizione di Cluster: Collezione di sistemi di calcolo indipendenti (workstations or PCs) collegati mediante una rete di interconnessione a basso costo (commodity interconnection Network), che viene utilizzata come una singola unificata risorsa di calcolo. Utilizzo dei Cluster Possiamo far ricadere i cluster in tre famiglie che ne caratterizzano l’utilizzo: High Availability Cluster: i nodi off rono servizi ridondanti per garantirne la disponibilita' Load Balancing Cluster: i nodi si spartiscono il carico di un determinato servizio dinamicamente High Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster: i nodi eseguono in maniera coordinata programmi paralleli che fanno un uso intenso della CPU. Load Balancing Cluster I nodi si spartiscono il carico di un determinato servizio dinamicamente High Availability Cluster I nodi off rono servizi ridondanti per garantirne la disponibilita' Tipologie di Clustered Filesystems A disco condiviso La tipologia più utilizzata di cluster file system è a disco condiviso in cui due o più server accedono contemporaneamente ad un singolo sottosistema di storage che può essere un RAID o una SAN. Sono un esempio di questa tecnologia i file system VMFS e il Global File System.
