Primary Storage in CloudStack by Mike Tutkowskibuildacloud
Primary storage in CloudStack stores running virtual machine disk volumes on hosts and is used for production applications, databases, and dev/test systems. It requires high-performance storage that can handle high change content and bursty I/O workloads. To configure primary storage, administrators first set up storage space on a SAN, create a hypervisor-level storage repository, and then define a primary storage in CloudStack that is associated with compute offerings for user VMs.
Storage systems include disks, disk shelves, controllers, and switches. Servers connect to storage using host bus adapters (HBAs) and software initiators to access disks over Fibre Channel (FCP) or iSCSI. NetApp uses its DataOntap operating system to manage disks aggregated into RAID groups and provisioned into volumes that provide file-level access over protocols like NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, and FC. Volumes contain file systems and can be accessed by servers over dedicated block storage devices called LUNs.
IBM's Elastic flash storage uses IBM FlashSystem arrays and Elastic Storage software to accelerate data access for big data and cloud applications. It provides extreme performance for intensive applications, increases efficiency to reduce costs, and supports automated management of large volumes of data through different storage tiers. The solution removes data bottlenecks and improves query response times through the combination of flash storage and scalable file systems.

7 steps to storage freedom and avoiding vendor lock in - io fabric 2017Greg Wyman
Objective-defined storage aims to create a single storage pool from any vendor or storage type to eliminate silos and vendor lock-in. It uses advanced data tiering to move hot data to fast RAM and SSDs, warm data to SSDs and fast disks, and cold data to high-capacity disks or cloud. This improves performance while reducing costs by utilizing commodity hardware. Reliability is improved through artificial intelligence and maintaining multiple live instances of data in different locations. Overall, objective-defined storage aims to reduce costs, improve performance, reliability, and unlock data from proprietary vendors through a software-defined approach.
This document compares all-flash storage solutions from NetApp and Pure Storage. It finds that NetApp has stronger performance capabilities, supported by its scale-out architecture and Data ONTAP innovations. However, Pure Storage leads in storage efficiency through its deduplication and compression techniques. While both vendors offer enterprise-grade reliability, NetApp provides more robust data management services and flexibility in scaling storage capacity and performance over time. The document recommends that NetApp focus on medium and large enterprises by emphasizing its strengths in scalability, performance, and data services management.

Find it With Multi-tiered Flash!
The all-flash data center was to solve all our problems. We’ve had all-flash arrays for ½ a decade. Where are the all-flash data centers? The problem is that performance and cost have been opposing forces in data storage systems for decades, especially in the initial all-flash era. Recent advancements in flash technology are finally breaking this tension and are enabling a new class of applications while driving costs down dramatically.
This document presents information on RAID level 4 storage. It defines RAID and its original goals of improving performance and reliability through disk arrays. RAID level 4 is described as using striping across multiple disks with one dedicated disk for parity data, allowing reads to be overlapped. This provides fault tolerance through parity but writes are slower since parity must be updated each time. The document outlines pros and cons, noting good read performance but poor write performance. Applications of RAID 4 and limitations are discussed before concluding that RAID offers cost-effective storage options to address growth in processor and memory speeds.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

The Flash Story
1. The Flash Story
Where to use Flash?
Flash storage provides an order-of-magnitude-better performance than spinning disk
drives, reducing latency and increasing throughput. A decision whether and how to
use Flash is based on four factors: performance, cost, capacity, and protection. Flash
is more expensive than conventional disk drives, but higher performance makes it an
economical alternative for the right workloads and use cases.
HYBRID ARRAY
IN THE SERVER
ALL – FLASH ARRAY
The most economical way to
deploy Flash is in hybrid or
multitier storage arrays
combining low-cost, highcapacity hard disk drives
(HDDs) and high-performance
solid-state drives (SSDs) to
deliver low storage cost per
I/O. Hybrid arrays balance
p e r f o r m a n ce a n d p r i ce
because a little Flash goes a
long way. Common use cases
include online transaction
processing (OLTP), data
warehousing, and email
applications.
Ser ver-based Peripheral
Component Interconnect
Express (PCIe) Flash provides
an order-of-magnitude-better
application performance over
SSDs. For workloads with
predictable I/O patterns and
small data sets, server flash
offers the highest throughput
a n d l o w e s t la t e n c y f o r
applications.
Flash storage is an attractive
method for boosting I/O
performance in the data
center. However, it has always
come at a price, both in high
costs and loss of capabilities
like scalability,higavailability,
and enterprise features.
