To meet the increasingly higher demand on both capacity and performance in large cluster computing environments, the storage subsystem has evolved toward a modular and scalable design. The scale-out file system has emerged as one implementation of the trend, in addition to scale-out object and block storage solutions.
What are the key principles when architecting a scale-out file system? Find out on February 28th when the SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) hosts The Scale-Out File System Architecture Overview, a live webcast where we will present an overview of scale-out file system architectures. This presentation will provide an introduction to scale-out-file systems and cover:
- General principles when architecting a scale-out file system storage solution
- Hardware and software design considerations for different workloads
- Storage challenges when serving a large number of compute nodes, e.g. name space consistency, distributed locking, data replication, etc.
- Use cases for scale-out file systems
- Common benchmark and performance analysis approaches
