Agenda


Network attached storage services

Network attached storage (NAS) services offer you a unified place to:

Virtualize file space to create a single, global data space

Provide access to data for individuals, groups, departments and

applications

Protect data by managing access permissions, performing backups

and developing disaster recovery plans

Manage data by helping to ensure uptime and optimizing

performance


Applying scale-out architecture to storage environments

Scale-out architecture is the right way to handle large volumes of data

Many inexpensive servers are clustered to work cooperatively

End users and applications see a single, large, high-throughput

file system

The architecture allows for availability, performance failover,

and, most important, scalability

The NAS servers are managed logically as a single entity

GPFS - performance and scalability of scale out file services

IBM GPFS is a scalable, parallel, cluster file product that originated as Almaden's Tiger Shark file system

GPFS supports single-cluster file systems of multiple petabytes and has run at I/O rates of more than 100 gigabytes per second

It has evolved for use in multicluster grid systems with high-bandwidth access to data from multiple storage clusters across wide geographic areas

In addition to high-speed parallel file access, GPFS is designed to provide fault tolerance, including automaticrecovery from disk and node failures

Its robust design and multinode access have made GPFS the chosen file system for commercial applications such as large Web servers, data mining, digital libraries, file servers and online databases

Why BladeCenter ?

Management efficiency:All network interconnect (Ethernet & Fibre Channel) is hard-wired on the midplanes. No chance for wrong or missing cabling. (In a SoFS cluster with 14 blades the midplanes replace 112 network cables)Blades can be discovered, monitored, started, stopped etc. through BC management modules.Switches are an integrated part of the cluster and can be monitored through BC management modules.

Space efficiency: Fits 14 servers in an 9U packagePower efficiency: The BC power modules up to 50% more efficient then smaller power supplies found in rack-mounted servers.Scalability: Add up to 14 blades, the infrastructure (power, cooling, network, management) is already there.Price: Initial investment looks expensive, but equipped with approximately >=5 blades the TCO is lower than with rack mounted servers.


New Samba features for SoFS
