This document defines storage from a client's perspective in 3 simple words: capacity, performance, and service quality. It explains that clients do not care about the technical details of the storage system, but rather care about getting the capacity and performance that was promised in a consistent manner by the service provider. The client's main concerns are how well their applications and databases run using the storage service.

Technology

How do you define storage in 3 simple
words from client's perspective and not
from the typical text book based SAN
definition?
Simply put, storage is about:
1. Capacity : How quickly can it be provisioned or on-demand in shortest possible time.
2. Performance : In terms of IOPS [OLTP] or throughput [Backup/MBps].
3. Service quality : How consistently the performance is maintained as promised by the
service provider without violations.
Clients*: Don't care what type of 'OS' or 'micro-kernel' is running on the storage box, what shell it is,
what type of disk it is underneath, what type of RAID-controller it is, how user-friendly the GUI is,
how shining it looks or how neat cabling is done, or how meaty & advanced CPU or memory is.
All they care is: What they were promised, and what they are getting. It does not matter if it’s
running world's '#1' storage operating system or the most advanced FLASH array, the reason is
simple, everything today is provided/sold 'as a service' and hence what goes behind that service
[storage] is none of their concern. Their concern is how optimally their Applications/Databases are
running and how well they are able to service to their own clients.
Clients* = One who consumes ‘storage’ as service via MSP [Managed Service Providers] and do not
own the infrastructure that provides the service.

Autre élément clé : comment analyser la charge I/O de véritables applications? Combien d'IOPS, en read, en write, quelle bande passante et surtout quel impact sur la durée de vie des SSD? Bref à mettre en toute les mains, et un merci à mon collègue Andrey Kudryavtsev. (EN) An excellent content which describe step by step how to install, monitor and benchmark PCIe/NVMe SSD (many trick not so simple). Another key learning: how to measure real I/O activities on a real workload? How many R/W IOPS, block size, throughtput, and finally what's the impact on SSD endurance and (real)life? A must read, and a huge thanks to my colleague Andrey Kudryavtsev. Auteurs/Authors: Andrey Kudryavtsev, SSD Solution Architect, Intel Corporation Zhdan Bybin, Application Engineer, Intel Corporation

3 approaches to memory protection are as follows: Memory safe language: Writing modules in memory safe language like Rust automatically manages memory but already there are NF’s written in C/C++ , rewriting them from scratch with Rust will takes lots of effort. Hardware-based memory protection(fine-grained approach): overhead of MPX comes from loading/storing the individual bounds for every pointers in a program Coarse-grained hardware protection: Divides memory space into modules based on tenancy , having 2 advantages: Tenants cant access each other modules and reduces the size of bound table thus reducing lookup overhead.

Top-Down Network Design Analyzing Technical Goals and Tradeoffs Copyright 2010 Cisco Press & Priscilla Oppenheimer Technical GoalsScalabilityAvailabilityPerformanceSecurityManageabilityUsabilityAdaptabilityAffordability Scalability: How much growth a network design must support. Availability: The amount of time a network is available to users, often expressed as a percent uptime, or as a mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR). Availability goals can also document any monetary cost associated with network downtime. Security: Goals for protecting the organization's ability to conduct business without interference from intruders inappropriately accessing or damaging equipment, data, or operations. Specific security risks should be documented. Manageability: Goals for fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS) management Usability: Goals regarding the ease with which network users can access the network and its services, including goals for simplifying user tasks related to network addressing, naming, and resource discovery. Adaptability: The ease with which a network design and implementation can adapt to network faults, changing traffic patterns, additional business or technical requirements, new business practices, and other changes. Affordability: The importance of containing the costs associated with purchasing and operating network equipment and services. ScalabilityScalability refers to the ability to growSome technologies are more scalableFlat network designs, for example, don’t scale wellTry to learnNumber of sites to be addedWhat will be needed at each of these sitesHow many users will be addedHow many more servers will be added AvailabilityAvailability can be expressed as a percent uptime per year, month, week, day, or hour, compared to the total time in that periodFor example:24/7 operationNetwork is up for 165 hours in the 168-hour weekAvailability is 98.21%Different applications may require different levelsSome enterprises may want 99.999% or “Five Nines” availability Availability Downtime in Minutes 4.32 1.44 .72 .01 30 10 5 .10 1577 99.70% 526 99.90% 263 99.95% 5 99.999% Per Hour Per Day Per Week Per Year .18 .06 .03 .0006 .29 2 105 99.98% .012 99.70% availability sounds pretty good, but it could mean that the network is down for 0.18 minutes every hour. This is 11 seconds. If those 11 seconds were spread out over the hour, nobody would notice possibly. But if there were some bug, for example, that caused the network to fail for 11 seconds every hour on the hour, people would notice. Users these days are very impatient. Notice that 99.70% availability also could mean one catastrophic problem caused the network to be down for 1577 minutes all at once. That’s 26 hours. If it were on a Saturday and the network was never down for the rest of the year, that might actually be OK. So, you have to consider time frames with percent availability numbers. Consider t ...

Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “Enterprise Knowledge Graphs: The Importance of Semantics” on May 9, 2024, at the annual Data Summit in Boston. In her presentation, Hedden describes the components of an enterprise knowledge graph and provides further insight into the semantic layer – or knowledge model – component, which includes an ontology and controlled vocabularies, such as taxonomies, for controlled metadata. While data experts tend to focus on the graph database components (RDF triple store or a label property graph), Hedden emphasizes they should not overlook the importance of the semantic layer.
