Hi all,
I am sending this note to let you know about some great news about storage/kernel support on Linux:
Last week was launched a new distributed file system with support at level of petabytes. It is called CEPH and will be available as default into kernel 2.6.34.
This is a important new resource that enables scalable storage systems.
- Easy scalability to multi-petabyte capacity
- High performance over varying workloads (input/output operations per second [IOPS] and bandwidth)
- Strong reliability
- dynamic metadata partitioning
- data distribution
- replication
- fault tolerance
- monitoring functions
- full POSIX compatibility
If you want to know more about CEPH take a look at:
Creators' paper "Ceph: A Scalable, High-Performance Distributed File System" [http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/Papers/weil-osdi06.pdf]
Sage Weil's PhD dissertation, "Ceph: Reliable, Scalable, and High-Performance Distributed Storage" [http://ceph.newdream.net/weil-thesis.pdf]
An article from developerWorks [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-ceph/]
Best Regards,
Damico
