Inktank: CRUSH ALGORITHM

Ceph is in the Linux kernel and has been integrated with the leading open source cloud management platforms. Key to Ceph’s design is the autonomous, self-healing, and intelligent Object Storage Daemon (OSD). Storage clients and OSDs both use the Controlled, Replication, Under, Scalable, Hashing (CRUSH) algorithm to efficiently compute information about data containers on demand, instead of having to depend on a central lookup table.

CRUSH provides a better data management mechanism than older approaches and enables massive scale by cleanly distributing the work to all the clients and OSDs in the cluster. CRUSH uses intelligent data replication to ensure resiliency, which is better suited to hyper-scale storage. Let’s take a deeper look at how CRUSH works to enable modern cloud storage infrastructures.

Transforming How We Deliver Value: Agility at Scale

Continuous delivery in software development allows us to deliver incrementally, get quick feedback, and react. A key enabler is the adoption of agile techniques and methods; key inhibitors in the enterprise are size, scale, and complexity. Now we must coordinate work across multiple interdependent teams to deliver value, rather than focusing on developing a single product or application. Amy Silberbauer shares her experience of adapting SAFe in an enterprise organization and describes the struggles, mistakes, and successes throughout that process. Learn how to avoid some common pitfalls as you and your own organization embark on this same transformation.

Data Deduplication in Windows Server 2012 R2 in Depth

Data deduplication has been around for years and comes in many forms. Most people think about expensive storage arrays when they talk about deduplication but that is certainly not the only type of data deduplication technology.

This white paper examines the data deduplication technology embedded in Windows Server 2012 R2 and the benefits it can bring to your environment. The discussion includes how it works and the possible scenarios for using Windows Server 2012 R2 data deduplication.

SONDERDRUCK für Datacore Software

SANsymphony-V10 oder Virtual SAN – dieser Vergleich drängt sich auf, wenn die Speichervirtualisierung zum Einsatz kommen soll. Zudem spielt auch noch das Scale-out-Prinzip eine Rolle, wie es zum Beispiel von Nutanix favorisiert wird. Vor dem Hintergrund der Vorstellung und der Produktfreigabe von Version 10 von SANsymphony-V sowie der Freigabe von Virtual SAN soll eine vergleichende Darstellung die wesentlichen Unterschiede herausarbeiten.

Software-defined Storage sorgt für Datensicherheit

Der Begriff „Software-defined“ ist inzwischen auch in der Speicherwelt angekommen. Kaum ein großer Anbieter, der dieses Schlagwort nicht für die Beschreibung seiner Produkte nutzt. Doch was verbirgt sich hinter diesem Konzept, welche Vorteile entstehen Unternehmen durch dessen Umsetzung und wann lohnt es sich, über Software-defined Storage nachzudenken?

Software-defined Storage, an SSG-NOW Outlook Report

Software-defined storage is more than just a new term for old features. While it could be said that storage has always been defined by software, which is true to a degree, specialized hardware for the physical storage has been required since the earliest computers. With more and more flavors of purpose-built hardware coming to market, the urgency to centrally control them becomes more pronounced.

Deliver Workload Automation for the App Developer

These are exciting times for enterprise application developers, as companies challenge them to build solutions that better exploit mobile devices, cloud infrastructures, sensor networks, big data, and APIs for widely used services such as Facebook and Gmail. Application development, however, isn't all intellectual exhilaration. It has its pain points, too, such as the toil that goes into creating and modifying batch workload jobs. This paper explores how app developers can use automation to deal with batch application workflows.

Workload Change: The 70 Percent of Your Business DevOps Forgot

Organizations that have successfully integrated workload automation (WLA) into their software development lifecycle have seen substantial benefits. So why is WLA, also referred to as job scheduling or batching processing, largely missing from the DevOps discussion? Adding WLA early in the development process ensures that the benefits of DevOps accrue for all applications, including your batch services. This paper explores the benefits in greater detail and explores possible ways to remedy the situation.
