RightScale Webinar: April 6, 2011 - In this webinar, we discuss how Gluster can help you deploy highly available, scalable storage in minutes and manage data growth in a single global namespace in the cloud. Take advantage of Gluster's software-only network-attached storage (NAS) solution to dynamically deploy and manage cloud storage in the RightScale Cloud Management Platform.

20. ServerTemplate in Library Easy, on-demand global-namespace within minutes - no limit to scale Less time spent managing storage Reduced Risks, and Business Continuity Add storage as you need it (usage based pricing) Pooled storage that is highly available Immediate storage pool w/out having to re-write your applications No need to forecast storage demand No vendor lock-in

22. Storage Challenges in AWS Without Gluster Highly Available POSIX storage is impossible Redundant NFS is not possible within EC2 NAS performance is limited to the speed of a single instance 80MB/s maximum throughput for a single EC2 instance Larger more expensive EC2 instances are required to reach 80MB/s Performance within AWS is unpredictable Resources within EC2 speed up and slow down Performance on EBS volumes can vary up to 70% from the mean hour to hour NAS Is difficult to scale An instance is limited to ~120TB of storage S3 requires application rewrites to leverage object storage S3 is incredibly slow (~15MB/s) EC2 EC2 EBS

23. Enter Gluster – RightScale Server Template We are the ONLY way to implement a highly available file system in Amazon. We limit the performance vagaries of Amazon virtual machines and storage. There is NO limit to the speed of a Gluster cluster, regardless of file size, block size, etc. There is NO limit to the number of files in a Gluster cluster, regardless of file size, block size, etc. Gluster is designed to work across availability zones and with S3 snapshots for genuine HA storage. From concept to production in 30 minutes. 2 hour support SLA. Guaranteed.

24. When to use Gluster Unstructured Data Video Files Audio Files Pictures General Office documents Web content Emails (Zimbra, Sendmail, etc.) When not to use Gluster Databases (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, etc.) Structured Files Data where on-disk block order matters

25. Scaling performance The total speed of the cluster is the aggregated speed of every instance. Single file performance is limited to the instances(s) on which the file exists. Gluster has been benchmarked in Amazon @ 5300MB/sec aggregated throughput. Single file performance is limited to ~80MB/sec.
