2. Abstract
This session explains why object storage is becoming so
popular and how it differs from block or file-level storage.
The speaker will provide an overview of IBM Cloud Object
Storage System and its clever, highly scalable, highly reliable
use of Erasure Coding to reduce storage costs by up to 70
percent from traditional disk arrays

Problem - Legacy Storage Designed for
Transactional Databases, Not Unstructured Data

6. How is Object Storage Different?
Block and File Storage
– Decide where to put it
• For block, which array/volume/LUN
• For file, which filer/subdirectory
– Remember where it is to get it back
– Don’t let anyone else move it
– Read/Write records, append data
– Limits on LUN size, number of files
Object Storage
– Provide data over to the Object
storage
• Get “claim stub” reference locator
– Use or share “claim stub” to access
data HTTP, Openstack Swift, S3
– Get/Put/Delete object in its entirety
– Effectively “unlimited” scalability

7. Object Store for Unstructured data
Hot Data
High-IOPS and Low-Latency
All-Flash and Hybrid Flash/Disk
Information Lifecycle Management
(ILM)
Structured data / Random-Access
Active logs and traces
Virtual Machines and VDI
Single-Tenancy
Static and Stable data
Backups, Files, Archives
Seismic, Research, Telemetry, HPC
Video, Animation, Body Cams
Photos, Images, CAD/CAM, GIS
Music, Audio
Genomic, Medical Images
Multi-tenancy
Object Store provides a
• Secure
• Reliable
• Scalable
• Cost Effective
Platform For Unstructured data
Object Store
is not designed for
• High IOPS workflows
• Transaction
Processing
• Inherent ILM

8. Object Storage is Simpler for Application Development
POSIX – over 60 commands NFS – over 30 commands
HEAD
• Read metadata
GET
• Read content and
metadata
PUT
• Write content and
metadata
DELETE
• Remove object or
empty container
POST
• Update metadata
Object – 5 commands
SMB – over 80 commands

10. Why Object Storage?
It enables my
business and reduces
costs!
• Handles 80% of my
data
• Scales easily, growth
does not impact my
business plan
• Less expensive than
traditional flash and
disk arrays
It is easy to deploy and
manage!
• Easily provision to users
and teams
• Location-independent,
Flat namespace
• Software-Defined or
Pre-built systems
• Ethernet-based and
Cloud friendly
• Online backup/archive
alternative to tape and
virtual tape libraries
It is great for
developing software!
• GET/PUT interface
reduces coding effort
• Robust metadata for
search of documents,
images, and videos
• Can be used for
Analytics, IoT,
Mobile, Web and
Cloud Applications

17. The Math Behind Reed-Solomon Erasure Coding
“K” variables of input data: a, b, c, d, e
Example: K=5 M=3
K+M= 8
Here we create “K+M”
equations, adding and
subtracting by different
co-factors
Results in “K+M” slices
that can be geographically
dispersed
We can tolerate losing up
to “M” slices of data, and
still solve for the original
“K” pieces of data.

IDA is represented as Width/Read/Write
This example is 12/7/9
Original data is received by
IBM COS Accesser and
chopped up into 7 pieces
(Read threshold)
Erasure Coding:
7 variables in,
12 equation results out
(Width)
12 slices written in parallel
to IBM COS Slicestor devices
A B C D
E F G
IBM SmartWrite™
At least 9 slices (Write Threshold) must be written
for the I/O to be considered complete, rest will be
written later. IBM COS periodically scans and
rebuilds slices as needed
IBM SmartRead™
To read the data back,
only 7 slices are used
to solve 7 equations
(Read threshold)
Original data is
re-assembled

19. Dedicated
(Private)
IBM Cloud Object Storage System –
Single-site, Two-site and Multi-Site
Single Site
Better performance,
when site-tolerance
not a factor, better
than traditional
RAID-5 / RAID-6
Two Site Vault Mirroring
Allows customers to leverage existing two-site
infrastructure. Provides concurrent reads and
writes despite communication disruption
between locations. Local data better than
traditional RAID-5 / RAID-6
Geographically Dispersed
Three to Nine Sites
Consider adding IBM Cloud or leverage existing
datacenter locations to provide a broader distribution
of data for higher availability, site-tolerance and
scalability
19

20. Two Dispersal Modes
Standard Dispersal
• One or more Accessers
• Each slice on its own
Slicestor
Concentrated Dispersal (CD Mode)
• Entry Level System (1-3 sites)
• Accessers can be embedded into
Slicestor (Optional)
• Each slice stored on separate
HDD within Slicestor for availability

Scalability – Scale performance and/or
capacity at any time with no downtime to

Need more Performance?
Add more Accesser nodes
Need more Capacity?
Add more disks to existing Slicestor nodes,
add more device sets to existing storage
pools, or add more storage pools
– All nodes in single device set must have
same amount of storage
• New device sets can have different size
drives than existing drives sets
– All device sets in a storage pool must
have the same IDA
• Standard and Concentrated IDA can be
intermixed in same storage pool
– Different storage pools can have
different IDA settings

Standard
Vault
Compliance
Enabled
Vault
Government Regulations specify that
“electronic storage must preserve the
records exclusively in a non-erasable,
non-rewriteable, format” (SEC 17a-4)
Various Terms have been used:
• Write Once Read Many (WORM)
for tape and optical media
• Fixed-Content or Content-
Addressable for disk-based storage
• Immutable for file systems
• Non-erasable, Non-rewriteable
(NENR) to cover all of the above
Compliance-Enabled Vaults prevent
objects from being deleted or modified
for a specified retention period
Vaults can co-exist
in same
storage pool

IBM Cloud Object Storage
I’ve deployed Spectrum Storage Suite. Now
what?
1. Well, since you already own entitlement to
all capabilities in the Spectrum Storage
suite, you are free to download any of the
software you like, including IBM Cloud
Object Storage!
2. To help facilitate quick adoption of
additional use cases, Spectrum Storage
Suite licensing offers the ability to
perform extended tests in an evaluation
sandbox proving ground without
additional charge. Tebibytes (TiB) in this
sandbox are not counted.
So go ahead, experiment with your next use
case. Prove it, become familiar with it, pay for
it only when it’s deployed for productive use.
