Open Source Solutions for Building Your Own Storage Area Network and Network Attached Storage Open Source Solutions for Building Your Own Storage Area Network and Network Attached Storage Author, Balakrishnan Subramanian A Data Science Foundation White Paper May 2020 --------------------------------------------------- Data Science Foundation Data Science Foundation, Atlantic Business Centre, Atlantic Street, Altrincham, WA14 5NQ Tel: 0161 926 3641 Email: [email protected] Web: www.datascience.foundation Registered in England and Wales 4th June 2015, Registered Number 9624670 www.datascience.foundation Copyright 2016 - 2017 Data Science Foundation 1. INTRODUCTION Generally, Storage solutions can be grouped into following four categories: SoHo NAS systems, Cloud-based/object solutions, Microsoft Storage Server solutions, Enterprise NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions. Enterprise NAS and SAN solutions are generally closed systems offered by traditional vendors like EMC and NetApp with a very large price tag, so many businesses are looking at Open Source solutions to meet their needs. This is a collection of links and brief descriptions of Open Source storage solutions currently available. Open Source of course means it’s free to use and modify, however some projects have do commercially supported versions as well for enterprise customers who require it. 1. Factors for choosing Storage Solutions When you are in the need of Storage solutions for managing your own infrastructure in your private Data Center, there are many offerings but selecting the right one depends upon your requirement. Factors involved in selecting a Storage type Budget Type of Data that you want to store Scaling concerns and Usage pattern In this article, we will be discussing two different methods (i.e. NAS and SAN), these two methods define the Structure of the storage, it is important to choose the right one based upon your use case and type of data. 2. NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE A Network Attached Source (NAS) is a device/server attached to the TCP/IP network, the Data Science Foundation Data Science Foundation, Atlantic Business Centre, Atlantic Street, Altrincham, WA14 5NQ Tel: 0161 926 3641 Email: [email protected] Web: www.datascience.foundation Registered in England and Wales 4th June 2015, Registered Number 9624670 data stored in this device can be shared. When a file read/write is requested in the form of an Network File system (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS), it is sent to the NAS attached to a TCP/IP server, which on receiving the NFS or CIFS request, converts the request into local storage IO command set. 1. Features of NAS NAS uses File Level Data access. The main I/O protocol of NAS is NFS or CIFS. NAS may appear like a “shared folder” but it is connected by means of Ethernet, this can in some cases exacerbate the execution if the system is being utilized for some different things (which are the typical case) or the network slacks. Figure 1: Network Attached Storage with LAN Network (Source: WikiMedia) 3. STORAGE AREA NETWORK Storage Area Network (SAN) is a rapid system of storage device and switches associated with the computer systems. SAN works as the result of sharing the pool with multiple servers. Each server can have direct access to the storage. SAN provides centralized Data Science Foundation Data Science Foundation, Atlantic Business Centre, Atlantic Street, Altrincham, WA14 5NQ Tel: 0161 926 3641 Email: [email protected] Web: www.datascience.foundation Registered in England and Wales 4th June 2015, Registered Number 9624670 storage management. SAN can move information starting with one storage device then onto the next and can share information between different servers, which makes the restoration and backup of information quickly. A productively and legitimately designed SAN encourages both calamity recuperation and high accessibility. 1. Features of SAN SAN uses block level data access. The main I/O protocol of SAN is Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). SAN appears to the computer as its own storage. It is connected by means of Fiber channel which results in excellent speeds and performance. Figure 2: Storage Area Network with Network (Source: www.slideshare.net) Nowadays many organizations and sectors have switched to Software-defined infrastructure which means they have to store large amount of data safe and secure. Many of the organizations were using open source software to meet their requirement in the section of storing data. E.g.: Projects like Hadoop, Ceph, Gluster. Home users and small businesses can also use open source storage software to Data Science Foundation Data Science Foundation, Atlantic Business Centre, Atlantic Street, Altrincham, WA14 5NQ Tel: 0161 926 3641 Email: [email protected] Web: www.datascience.foundation Registered in England and Wales 4th June 2015, Registered Number 9624670 meet their needs of storing data, this software allows them to set up their own NAS or SAN device, which uses industry standard hardware without paying the high prices for buying a dedicated storage equipment. It is also possible to set up a cloud storage which is safe, secured and private, it is affordable too when looking for backup and recovery. 4. NAS/SAN OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE 1.

  • Three Open Source Network Storage Software
    Three Open Source Network Storage Software Whether you’re looking to create a scalable storage solution for your organization or a simple and easy to setup storage box for your home or small office, here are three packages that will meet all your network storage requirements. You can either download their latest editions or take them from this month’s PCQ DVD. - Sandeep Koul NAS4Free This software is actually related to FreeNAS (the one we’ve done a detailed implementation guide on in this issue), which is probably why it has a similar sounding name. In fact, NAS4Free is a direct continuation of efforts that went into developing the original FreeNAS code, which started in 2005 and continued till 2011 by the name FreeNAS. Post 2011, these two packages were developed separately by two different communities. Like FreeNAS, NAS4Free also comes loaded with features like sharing across Windows, Apple, and UNIX-like systems, includes ZFS, software RAID (0,1,5), disk encryption, S.M.A.R.T / email reports etc. It supports all common network storage protocols including CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, TFTP, AFP, RSYNC, Unison, iSCSI, UPnP, Bittorent (initiator and target). All these features can be configured through the software’s Web interface. The package is an embedded Open Source Network-Attached Storage distribution and is based on FreeBSD. Download from: www.nas4free.org/ OpenMediaVault The great feature about this storage package is the modular design of its framework, due to which its functionality can be enhanced via plug-ins.

Welcome • Who am I? • Jonathan A Burt BSc Cert Mgmt HND FIAP IEng MBCS CITP • Batchelor of Science Degree (Open) • Professional Certificate in Management • Higher National Diploma in Computing • Fellow of the Institute of Analysts and Programmers • Incorporated Engineer with the Engineering Council • Member of the British Computer Society • Charted IT Professional • PRINCE2 Practitioner • Certified Novell Administrator (v5.x) • 25+ years experience of working in IT, now retired. • Long time member of the Isle of Wight PC User Group! Warning! • As with all my talks, I recommend that you do you own research before making any changes to your PC. • Also, please ensure you have backed up all of your data before you make changes to your PC. What is a NAS? • Network Attached Storage (NAS) is dedicated file storage that enables multiple users and devices to retrieve data from a centralised disk capacity. • Users on a local area network (LAN) access the shared storage via a standard Ethernet (or wireless) connection. • NAS devices typically are headless, i.e. they do not have a keyboard or monitor, and are configured and managed via browsers or a bespoke utility. • Each NAS resides on the LAN as an independent network node, defined by its own unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. So what did that mean? • Basically a NAS is a server with a motherboard, processor, RAM and a lot of hard drives! Not Just Storage Anymore! • However, things have moved on and NAS boxes can now offer extra features.
