The document discusses cloud storage and object storage technologies. It defines cloud storage as storage provided as a service through a monthly billing model and accessible via API. Object storage is identified as the technology best suited for building cloud storage services due to its scalability, availability, and other features. Several example technologies are listed and classified as either cloud storage services or underlying storage technologies that can be used to provide cloud storage.

Building a GPU-enabled OpenStack Cloud for HPC - Blair Bethwaite, Monash Univ...OpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
M3 is the latest generation system of the MASSIVE project, an HPC facility specializing in characterization science (imaging and visualization). Using OpenStack as the compute provisioning layer, M3 is a hybrid HPC/cloud system, custom-integrated by Monash’s R@CMon Research Cloud team. Built to support Monash University’s next-gen high-throughput instrument processing requirements, M3 is half-half GPU-accelerated and CPU-only.
We’ll discuss the design and tech used to build this innovative platform as well as detailing approaches and challenges to building GPU-enabled and HPC clouds. We’ll also discuss some of the software and processing pipelines that this system supports and highlight the importance of tuning for these workloads.

Having served as team lead, architect, administrator, user, researcher, and occasional hacker, Blair’s unique perspective as a science power-user, developer, and system architect has helped guide the evolution of the research computing engine central to Monash’s 21st Century Microscope.
Lance Wilson: Lance is a mechanical engineer, who has been making tools to break things for the last 20 years. His career has moved through a number of engineering subdisciplines from manufacturing to bioengineering. Now he supports the national characterisation research community in Melbourne, Australia using OpenStack to create HPC systems solving problems too large for your laptop.

StorPool presents at Cloud Field Day - the leading technology event focused on the impact of cloud technologies on enterprise IT. During the event, the high-performance block storage specialist will showcase how its storage technology allows cloud builders to easily outperform cloud titans like AWS, Microsoft Azure and GCP.
Performance is of major importance for modern applications and workloads. No matter if you run a private cloud or deliver public cloud services for customers, you need to ensure the excellent performance for the workloads running on the cloud. Often misunderstood, storage has a direct impact not only on the reliability of cloud services, but also on the performance of the entire cloud.

In Place Analytics For File and Object DataSandeep Patil
Why would one want to get into this mess ? Would it not be nice to have a storage system that supports unified file and object, has inplace analytics support via Hadoop connectors, performance well, is scalable , has ability to seamlessly tier to other object stores or tape and is software defined. It sounds like a No Brainier !
Manage Microservices & Fast Data Systems on One Platform w/ DC/OSMesosphere Inc.
The application landscape inside our data center is changing: Along with the trend of moving toward microservices and containers, there are a number of new distributed data processing frameworks such as Kafka or Cassandra being released on a weekly basis. These changes have implications for the ways we think about infrastructure. With the growing need for computing power and the rise of distributed applications comes the need for a reliable and simple-use cluster manager and programming abstraction.
In this presentation, Mesosphere explains how to use DC/OS to manage microservices and fast data systems on a single platform. We will look at how container orchestration, including resource management and service management, can be streamlined to process fast data in a matter of seconds, allowing for predictive user interfaces, product recommendations, and billing charge back, among other modern app components.

Turning object storage into vm storagewim_provoost
Object Storage is today the standard to build scale-out storage. But due to technical hurdles it is impossible to run Virtual Machines directly from an Object Store. Open vStorage is the layer between the hypervisor and Object Store and turns the Object Store into a high performance, distributed, VM-centric storage platform.

In this session Arash will show you how to use Open Cloud service delivery models such as Open IaaS and Open PaaS to deploy OpenCms as a service for your organization or your customers. You will learn how Open Source cloud operating systems and platforms such as OpenStack and Cloud Foundry can help jumping and scaling between OpenCms content clouds. Arash will also compare other PaaS solutions like AppScale, CloudBees, OpenShift and Jelastic and show if and how OpenCms can work with them. He will introduce you to the Cloud Federation concept, which helps to avoid vendor lock-in with private, public and hybrid cloud environments. Last but not least, he will explain how to achieve a high level of data security in Open Clouds, so that even system administrators won’t be able to access your OpenCms data. This session is targeted at all types of OpenCms users, such as business users, service providers and developers.
Building an open source cloud storage platform for OpenStack - openATTICit-novum
Although OpenStack is purposely open it partly relies on proprietary storage products. To build your cloud upon a truly open software-defined storage platform (SDS), the storage project openATTIC might be worth a try. openATTIC is a cloud storage platform based on 100% open source. It is optimized for OpenStack's Cinder component and for openQRM.
The openATTIC project has been initiated to support organizations in getting the best return on investment in their data center operations while achieving greatest flexibility. openATTIC is based on open source software and extended with intelligent storage functions. Building software-defined storage platforms with openATTIC is easy as it gives you complete access to all its functionalities via a single central API making integration and extension both simple and inexpensive. openATTIC is hardware-independent and includes intelligent SDS functions such as
- consistent snapshots of VMs, databases and applications
- high availability and high performance
- the comprehensive variety of protocols typical of a unified storage system.
- variety of standard hardware can be used
- secure & enterprise-class reliable

[OSDC.tw 2011] The Path to Pass into PaaS -- How We Build the SolutionJeff Hung
Elaster CAP is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that enable any developer or service provider to host their own PaaS cloud. So they can focus on application logic and Elaster CAP will help to reduce operation cost. Elaster CAP supports Java Web Applications and Hadoop Map/Reduce Applications. It also provides many cloud-based infrastructures to support your Software-as-a-Service applications, such as Relational Database, Index/Search service, and Big-data Storage with S3 compatible adapter. Elaster CAP is designed to be elastic that, depends on the use cases, the cloud can be as small as one node, or as big as more than hundreds of nodes. The nodes in Elaster CAP can run on physical machines in your data center, or virtual machines hosted by Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers such as EC2 and TCloud Elaster.
In this talk, We'd like to describe the technology and strategy we took when building Elaster CAP. And share the pitfalls and gotchas that we experienced during the journey.
