Red Hat Storage (GlusterFS) Design Goals
Capacity
Per
form
ance
● Innovation● Eliminate metadata server● Dramatically improve performance ● Unify files and objects
● Elasticity ● Flexibility adapt to growth/reduction ● Add, delete volumes & users● Without disruption
● Scale linearly ● Multiple dimensions ● Performance ● Capacity ● Aggregated resources
● Simplicity ● Ease of management ● No complex Kernel patches ● Run in user space
10
● Scalable ● No metadata server = faster file system
● Enables linear scaling of performance and capacity
● Flexible ● Software only ● Deploy on the infrastructure of choice ● Simultaneous files and objects● Modular, stackable storage OS architecture● Data stored in native file formats
● Affordable● Deploy on commodity hardware

Software Only – Future Proofing Storage
● Superior storage economics & flexibility ● Data center / private cloud use commodity hardware● Public cloud – i.e. AWS, pay for what you need when you need it
● No hardware lock-in● You choose hardware vendors - at purchase time or in the future● Any Cloud – Public, private, and hybrid● Performance, capacity, or availability levels ● GlusterFS – not proprietary, files are stored in native formats (i.e. EXT4)
12
A Strong Open Source Foundation
Global Adoption ● 300,000+ downloads● ~36,000 /month (Nov.2011)
● 550+ registered deployments● 45 countries
● 2,500+ registered users● Mailing lists, Forums, etc.
● Active community● Diverse testing environments● Bugs identification and fixes● Code contributions
● Member of broader ecosystem● OpenStack● Linux Foundation● Open Virtualization Alliance
13
Common Solutions Built on Red Hat Storage
● Media serving (CDN)
● Large scale file storage
● File sharing
● High Performance Computing (HPC)
● IaaS storage layer
● Tier 2 & 3 archive
● Backup & Restore
● Disaster recovery

Pattern Energy
• Rapid and advance weather predictions
• Maximizing energy assets
• Cost savings and avoidance
High Performance Computing for Weather Prediction
• Problem Create a high performance computing
system Need to deliver rapid advance weather
predictions Identify wind and solar abundance in
advance More effectively perform preventative
maintenance and repair
• Solution 32 HP compute nodes Red Hat SSA for high throughput and
availability 20TB+ total capacity
• Benefits Predicts solar and wind patterns 3 to 5 days
in advance Maximize energy production and repair times Avoid costs of outsourcing weather
predictions Solution has paid for itself many times over
