Ceph: Managing a Distributed Storage System at Scale
As the size and performance requirements of storage systems have increased, file system designers have looked to new architectures to facilitate system scalability. Ceph is a fully open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability from terabytes to exabytes. Fault tolerance is a key challenge for both system design and operations. Ceph is designed to be both highly available and elastic. In large clusters, disk, host, and even network failures are the norm rather than the exception, hardware is heterogeneous and incrementally deployed or deprovisioned, and availability must be continuous. This talk will describe the Ceph architecture and the impact it has on system operations, including failure management, monitoring, and provisioning.
Papers are restricted to registered attendees until the event begins. Once the event begins, the content becomes free and open to everyone. Journal articles are open to everyone upon publication. If available, video, audio, and/or slides of this presentation will be posted here after the event.
