Rather than deploying a storage subsystem for only object storage, and another for only block storage, an SDS OpenStack Storage Solutions option coupled with an appropriate hardware design can eliminate through Software Defined Storage the need for independent, dissimilar storage silos. Given the flexible and open approach to IT infrastructure embraced OpenStack deployments utilize block and object storage in by OpenStack, traditional storage subsystems are often sized, specific ways. There are three primary categories for OpenStack selected, configured and provisioned based on known needs at the storage and each facilitate a particular purpose within the time of procurement and projected needs measured by existing OpenStack cloud infrastructure. These are not exclusive for applications with forecast exercises applied. OpenStack cloud infrastructure use, and user workloads may utilize block and object storage for cloud user and application Cloud infrastructure requirements will vary and applications will purposes, as well. likely have requirements for the infrastructure to scale along with business demands.

  • 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.

CEPH: A Ken Birman SCALABLE HIGH-PERFORMANCE Spring, 2019 DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM HTTP://WWW.CS.CORNELL.EDU/COURSES/CS5412/2019SP 1 HDFS LIMITATIONS Although many applications are designed to use the normal “POSIX” file system API (operations like file create/open, read/write, close, rename/replace, delete, and snapshot), some modern applications find POSIX inefficient. Some main issues: HDFS can handle big files, but treats them as sequences of fixed-size blocks. Many application are object-oriented HDFS lacks some of the “file system management” tools big-data needs HTTP://WWW.CS.CORNELL.EDU/COURSES/CS5412/2019SP 2 CEPH PROJECT Created by Sage Weihl, a PhD student at U.C. Santa Cruz Later became a company and then was acquired into Red Hat Linux Now the “InkStack” portion of Linux offers Ceph plus various tools to leverage it, and Ceph is starting to replace HDFS worldwide. Ceph is similar in some ways to HDFS but unrelated to it. Many big data systems are migrating to the system. HTTP://WWW.CS.CORNELL.EDU/COURSES/CS5412/2019SP 3 CEPH HAS THREE “APIS” First is the standard POSIX file system API. You can use Ceph in any situation where you might use GFS, HDFS, NFS, etc. Second, there are extensions to POSIX that allow Ceph to offer better performance in supercomputing systems, like at CERN. Finally, Ceph has a lowest layer called RADOS that can be used directly as a key-value object store. HTTP://WWW.CS.CORNELL.EDU/COURSES/CS5412/2019SP 4 WHY TALK DIRECTLY TO RADOS? SERIALIZATION/DESERIALIZATION! When an object is in memory, the data associated with it is managed by the class (or type) definition, and can include pointers, fields with gaps or other “subtle” properties, etc.
