Storage Transforming to Reflect Compute Multi-tenant / CommoditizedVirtualized Automated shared Standardized Scale on Free Software In the Cloud Scale Out Demand / OpenSource Storage must support the public and private cloud environment • Storage is the Achilles heel of full data center virtualization • Storage performance, availability, capacity, & interface is the Achilles heel of public cloud • Big Data, data migration, multi-site consistency are the Achilles heel of hybrid cloud Storage will look like the computing environment • Storage should be a commoditized, virtualized, centrally managed pool • Monolithic proprietary systems now challenged by nimble and shared network storage • Storage becomes a software problem • The “Google model” of storage Petascale Cloud Filesystem 6

Partners HealthcarePrivate Cloud: Centralized Storage as a Service Problem • Capacity growth from 144TB to 1+PB • Multiple distributed users/departments • Multi OS access - Windows, Linux and Unix Solution • Over 500 TB • GlusterFS Cluster • 9 Sun “Thumper” • Solaris/ZFS/x4500 w/ InfiniBand systems in cluster • Native CIFS/ NFS access Benefits • Capacity on demand / pay as you grow • Centralized management • Higher reliability • OPEX decreased by 10X Petascale Cloud Filesystem 11

Pandora Internet Radio Problem • Explosive user & title growth • As many as 12 file formats for each song • ‘Hot’ content and long tail Solution • Three data centers, each with a six-node GlusterFS cluster• 1.2 PB of audio served • Replication for high availability per week • 250+ TB total capacity• 13 million files Benefits• Over 50 GB/sec peak • Easily scale capacity traffic • Centralized management; one administrator to manage day-to-day operations • No changes to application • Higher reliability Petascale Cloud Filesystem 12

Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions Problem • Host a dedicated enterprise cloud solution • Large scale VMware environment • Need high availability Solution• Large scale VM • Gluster for VM storage, NFS to clients storage • SAS drives on back-end• Low cost service • Replication for high availability delivery for enterprise customer Benefits• Drastic reduction in • Storage provisioning from 6 wks. to 15 min. provisioning time • Vendor agnostic storage • Low cost of service delivery • Elastic growth Petascale Cloud Filesystem 13

Envoy MediaPublic Cloud: Media Serving on AWS Problem • Limited scalability • Slow response to demand spikes • Manual data management Solution • Four EBS volumes under Gluster global• Targeted media namespace serving • Replication for high availability• 100% AWS hosted • EC2 for compute; S3 for backup• Unpredictable traffic Benefits • No change to application • Content immediately available to all servers • Automatic resource allocation • Lower cost (vs. colo and proprietary options) Petascale Cloud Filesystem 14
