AGENDA● Requirements and trends● Software-defined storage● Red Hat Ceph Storage 101● OpenStack integration● Product features, benefits, and

differentiation● Service offerings● Where to go next

REQUIREMENTS, TRENDS, AND SOFTWARE-DEFINED STORAGE

CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS● Greater cost-efficiencies (30-40% annual data growth, while 60%

storage budgets flat or declining)

● Control of data growth with flexible multi-workload architectures

● Freedom from worsening labor constraints of proprietary storage

● Better day-to-day maintenance of complex storage infrastructures

● Enterprise-readiness: resilience, performance, data protection

● Agile infrastructure to match capabilities of cloud services

RISING TIDE OF SOFTWARE-DEFINED STORAGE

“By 2020, between 70-80% of unstructured data will be held on lower-cost storage

managed by SDS environments.”

“By 2016, server-based storage solutions will lower storage hardware costs by 50% or more.”

Distributed, enterprise-grade object storage, proven at web scale

Open, massively-scalable, software-defined Flexible, scale-out architecture on clustered commodity hardwareSingle, efficient, unified storage platform (block, object, file) User-driven storage lifecycle management with 100% API coverage Integrated, easy-to-use management consoleDesigned for cloud infrastructure and emerging workloads

BUSINESS BENEFITS● Open source - no proprietary lock-in, large ecosystem, community backing

● Lower cost - than traditional NAS/SAN, particularly petabyte workloads

● Peace of mind - decade of development, production proven, overwhelmingly preferred, supported and integrated by Red Hat

TECHNICAL BENEFITS OF CEPH

● Massive scalability, to support petabytes of data

● Maximum uptime, with no single point of failure

● Reduced maintenance, via self-management and self-healing

● Operational efficiency, by distributing data dynamically among servers and disks

RED HAT CEPH STORAGE FEATURES AND BENEFITS

COMPLETE, DEEPLY INTEGRATED STORAGE FOR OPENSTACK● Deeply integrated with modular architecture and components for ephemeral

& persistent storage Nova, Cinder, Manila, Glance, Keystone, Swift

● Optimized for Database as a Service (DaaS) with MySQL workloads● Bundled in Red Hat OpenStack Platform

ADVANTAGES FOR OPENSTACK USERS● Instantaneous booting of 1 or 100s of VMs● Instant backups via seamless data migration between Glance, Cinder, Nova● Tiered I/O performance within single cluster● Multi-site replication for disaster recovery or archiving

Description Software-defined, unified storage and distributed object store

Traditional NAS & SAN appliance (still requiring two storage systems)

Capacity 1000s of nodes, limitless petabytes ~6 PBs

Scalability Easy to add and manage- via single nodes on standard servers and disks

Difficult - via forklift installation of additional appliances

VM migration and backups

Live, instantaneous, for high agility in cloud environments

Cumbersome and slow: Image pulled from Swift for each instance

Design process Open source Proprietary

Maintenance Nodes added and removed on fly Appliance replacement impacts data migration and downtime

Cost Pay-as-you-go OPEX, economical at scale Large upfront CAPEX, much (75%+) more expensive on PB+ workloads
