DIFFERENT KINDS OF STORAGE

FILE STORAGE

File systems allow users to

organize data stored in blocks

using hierarchical folders and

files.

OBJECT STORAGE

Object stores distribute data

algorithmically throughout a

cluster of media, without a rigid

structure.

BLOCK STORAGE

Physical storage media appears

to computers as a series of

sequential blocks of a uniform

size.

Share-nothing, scale-out architecture

provides durability and adapts to changing

demands

Self-managing and self-healing features

reduce operational overhead

Standards-based interfaces and full

APIs ease integration with applications and

systems

PHYSICAL VIRTUAL PRIVATE CLOUD CONTAINERS PUBLIC CLOUD

HOW STORAGE FITS

Powerful distributed storage for the cloud and beyond

VM Storage with OpenStack

Cinder, Glance & Nova

Object storage for tenant apps

Built from the ground up as a next-generation

storage system, based on years of research and

suitable for powering infrastructure platforms

TARGET USE CASES

Rich Media and Archival

S3-compatible object

storage

Highly tunable, extensible, and configurable, with

policy-based control and no single point of failure

Offers mature interfaces for block and object

storage for the enterprise

HYPER CONVERGENCE

CEPH & OPENSTACK

RED HAT CLOUDFORMS○ NFV Workloads

○ Exception Required

○ 64 TB Included

○ Cloud Forms Included

○ Backup snapshots

○ Scaled API- cinder backup is now

decoupled from cinder volume

○ Volume replication API

○ CephFS native drive – manila

Ceph’s object storage gateway has greatly improved.

• Support for authentication using Active Directory, LDAP

& OpenStack Keystone v3

• Greater compatibility with the Amazon S3 and

OpenStack Swift object storage APIs

• AWS v4 signatures, object versioning, bulk deletes

• New NFS gateway for import and export of object data

(tech preview)

OBJECT STORAGE IMPROVEMENTS

Global object storage clusters with a single

namespace

• Enables deployment of clusters across multiple

geographic locations

• Clusters synchronize, allowing users to read from or

write to the closest one

Multi-site replication for block devices

• Replicates virtual block devices across regions for

disaster recovery and archival

BlueStore is a new Ceph storage backend

optimized for modern media

• Replaces FileStore, which was designed for HDDs

• Supports flexible media topologies (flash, K/V drives,

persistent memory)

• Eliminates the need for an underlying filesystem or

dedicated journal device

• Provides a 2-3X performance boost

TECH PREVIEW: BLUESTORE

CephFS is a POSIX-compliant file system for use with OpenStack Manila

• Support for FUSE or kernel clients (RHEL 7.2)

• Approach: robustness, hardening, then scalability

STORAGE FOR CONTAINERS

• Storage provided by an adjacent, dedicated

cluster on bare metal

• Kubernetes volume drivers mount volumes on

container creation

• Easy for developers to provide storage for

applications

• Storage scales independently of container

infrastructure

Container

• Red Hat Gluster Storage can be deployed within a

container

• Allows developers to create, grow, or shrink storage

clusters on-demand

• Served from a cluster of dedicated storage container

hosts

• Optimized for applications running on RHEL 7,

OpenShift Enterprise, and RHEL Atomic Host
