Enterprise SSD: Who is Adopting Them and WhyIT Brand Pulse
This document summarizes the key findings from a presentation on enterprise SSD adoption trends and brand leaders in 2014. Some of the main points include:
- Enterprise IT OEMs are increasingly adopting all-flash storage arrays after initially being hesitant.
- Cloud storage providers are becoming more transparent about the flash-based infrastructure behind their cloud offerings.
- Surveys of IT professionals show that NetApp, Dell, IBM, and EMC are seen as leaders for different types of flash storage solutions.
- Adoption of flash is growing rapidly, with many organizations planning to replace HDDs with SSDs as their primary storage within a few years as prices continue to decline.
The focus group findings provided key insights for NextIO:
1. Unlike an earlier survey, none of the participants were familiar with shared IO technology or vendors.
2. Participants recognized the benefits of consolidating network adapters and storage with a shared IO solution.
3. A pod/TOR topology was seen as a good fit for clusters but disruptive to existing SAN/NAS storage layouts.
4. Price points under $100K would only appeal to larger organizations, not SMBs. References and packaged solutions would help sales.
5. Support for VAAI and VASA was important for managing heterogeneous storage from one system.

Rethinking Storage Infrastructures by Utilizing the Value of FlashJonathan Long
The document discusses how flash memory technology can be used to optimize storage infrastructures. Flash has a much lower uncorrectable bit error rate than hard disk drives, allowing for simplification of RAID configurations and reduced data protection overhead. This performance margin of flash can enable hardware consolidation and replacing hybrid hard disk drive/solid state drive arrays with all-flash solutions. While all-flash data centers are possible for workloads involving only hot or warm data, hard disk drives will still be needed alongside solid state drives for many environments due to their lower cost for cold data storage. Flash adoption in data centers will continue to increase as a viable alternative to hard disk drives.
Flash is Changing Business
In business timing is everything. We all know the phrase "Time is Money", right? This is especially true when it comes to business-critical applications. Any delays in delivering data and processing could result in lost customers, lost revenue and lost trust.
thinkASG's new eBook "Our Hero Flash" discusses these challenges and looks at how Flash is changing business as we know it today. Read about how Flash is providing a platform for innovation and making a huge impact on the way healthcare organizations are engaging with their patients. Customer service oriented companies can better connect with their customers much faster than before and decrease time needed to help them.
Webinar: What's Best for VDI, Hybrid or All-Flash Storage?Storage Switzerland
The top concern for IT planners looking to implement or expand the use of their VDI investment is storage performance. This is because every step that is taken to drive down cost per desktop, or improve the user experience, impacts storage performance and capacity. All-flash arrays address the performance problem with a sledgehammer and for many environments they can be the most cost effective option. But for others, hybrid solutions may make more sense.
Join Storage Switzerland and Tegile Systems as we discuss the various challenges that VDI scale brings to storage and how All-Flash Arrays and Hybrid Arrays can address those challenges.
One of the toughest decisions when selecting a new storage system is deciding between an All-Flash Array and a Hybrid Array. Do you go with the predictable high performance of the all flash architecture or the attractive price per GB of the mixed flash and hard disk architecture? What if you can have both? In this webinar learn how to get predictable performance from your Hybrid Arrays so it will perform like an All-Flash Array.
This document summarizes the findings of a case study comparing the 5-year total cost of ownership (TCO) for 4 disk array solutions and 4 software-defined storage solutions for backup to disk. The study found that SUSE Enterprise Storage 4 provided the lowest overall 5-year TCO that was $181,457 less than the most expensive solution from EMC. SUSE offered multiple layers of cost savings, including using standard hardware, low annual software licensing fees spread over 5 years, and support included in the license cost. The study concludes that software-defined storage solutions can provide disk backup for half the cost of branded storage arrays.

Software is the basis for flexibility and smart storage virtualization and management software can improve the utilization of storage resources so that you optimize
and right-size to meet your needs. Hardware-defined by definition is rigid and inflexible therefore it leads to purchasing more than you want since you don’t want to underestimate your needs. Software can also allow the latest innovations like Flash-memory SSDs to be easily incorporated into your infrastructure without having to “rip and replace” your existing storage investments.
Peanut Butter and jelly: Mapping the deep Integration between Ceph and OpenStackSean Cohen
Ceph is the most widely deployed storage technology used with OpenStack, most often because it's an open source, massively scalable, unified software-defined storage solution. Its popularity is also due to its unique and optimized technical integration with the OpenStack services and its pure-software approach to scaling. In this session, we'll review how Ceph is integrated into Nova, Glance, Keystone, Cinder, and Manila and demonstrate why using traditional storage products won’t give you the full benefits of an elastic cloud infrastructure. We’ll also cover the flexible deployment options, available through Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Ceph Storage, for seamless operations and key scenarios like disaster recovery. We'll discuss architectural options for deploying a multisite OpenStack cluster and cover the varying levels of maturity in the OpenStack services for configuring multisite. This session will also show how other technologies are using OpenStack Ceph to increase performance and reduce power consumption, such as Intel SSDs. This will include reference architectures and best practices for Ceph and SSDs.

The rise of compute intensive workloads and the adoption of the cloud has driven organizations to adopt a decoupled architecture for modern workloads – one in which compute scales independently from storage. While this enables scaling elasticity, it introduces new problems – how do you co-locate data with compute, how do you unify data across multiple remote clouds, how do you keep storage and I/O service costs down and many more.
Enter Alluxio, a virtual unified file system, which sits between compute and storage that allows you to realize the benefits of a hybrid cloud architecture with the same performance and lower costs.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- Why leading enterprises are adopting hybrid cloud architectures with compute and storage disaggregated
- The new challenges that this new paradigm introduces
- An introduction to Alluxio and the unified data solution it provides for hybrid environments
ECS is an object-based cloud storage platform from Dell EMC that provides massive scalability, cloud-scale economics, universal data accessibility, global analytics capabilities, optimized storage, and flexible deployment options. It delivers these benefits on a software-defined architecture using commodity infrastructure to provide up to 60% lower costs than public cloud storage providers. ECS supports both traditional and next-gen workloads and applications through object, file, and HDFS access within a single platform.

The document discusses how server and storage utilization has changed with the adoption of virtualization, noting that a survey found over half of small to medium companies were using VMware hypervisors by 2016, especially among larger companies. It also explains how vMotion traffic can either share the Ethernet network with application servers or be isolated to a dedicated FC-SAS storage network. Finally, it lists some VMware and ATTO solutions related to using direct attached storage to create a SAN.
The document discusses how small to medium businesses have swung between using direct-attached storage (DAS) and storage area networks (SANs) for their VMware environments. It provides an example of a construction firm, Torcon, that converted their DAS setup into a SAN using ATTO technology to save costs and extend the usable life of their servers and storage. The conversion took less than three hours and provided benefits like isolated storage networking and easier expansion capacity. The document advocates that SAS-based SANs provide performance and flexibility comparable to fibre channel SANs at a lower cost that is suitable for cost-conscious small to medium businesses.

An Epic Migration is Underway to Software Defined Storage
Hyperscale growth by Amazon, Apple, Facebook,
Google, Microsoft, and others was made possible by a
software defined data (SDDC) architecture.
Commercial versions of the open-source software are
now available to enterprise IT, and an epic migration
to software defined storage is underway. As a result,
Enterprise SDS revenue will surpass traditional
enterprise storage revenue by 2021.
Using white box servers and software infrastructure
apps, the SDDC architecture reduced costs by 40%
versus proprietary hardware, enabled deployment of
virtualized resources in days versus months, and
delivered the ability to scale-out to millions of nodes.
Best Served Cold by Linux Vendors
A good starting point for deploying SDS is cold storage. Shipments of capacity-optimized HDD storage systems will
increase five-fold from 2012 to 2016. Demand for cold storage systems is driven by the growth of unstructured data
such as mobile messages, surveillance video, and medical records. Consequently, reducing the cost of cold storage is a
high priority for storage architects. SDS is an excellent solution for addressing the rising cost of cold storage. And unlike
transaction-intensive storage which is mission-critical, cold storage is not frequently accessed and a less risky
environment for deploying new technology.
Private cloud architects see software defined storage under the control of a cloud operating system. Because open-
source Linux is at the core of almost every cloud platform and SDS product, Linux O.S. vendors are best positioned to
provide superior expertise, products and support.
The Future Looks like SUSE Enterprise Storage
Established in 1992, SUSE is the original provider of the enterprise Linux distribution and a popular platform for mission
-critical computing. With a portfolio centered around SUSE Linux Enterprise, SUSE powers thousands of organizations
around the world across physical, virtual and cloud environments. SUSE is now offering commercial versions of the
OpenStack cloud operating system and CEPH software defined storage to Enterprise IT organizations building private
clouds. With SUSE OpenStack Cloud and SUSE Enterprise Storage, architects have a framework for a software defined
data center delivering hyperscale-like cost, agility, and scalability.
The remainder of this report is a review of SUSE Enterprise Storage.

Comprehensive SDS Addresses File, Block & Object Storage
SUSE Enterprise Storage is an example of a best-in-class solution in a new product category called “Software Defined
Storage.” That is because best-in-class private cloud environments deliver the lowest costs through a high degree of
automation and efficiency, and the most efficient way to deliver software defined storage is to deploy a comprehensive
and unified software defined storage which addresses file, block, and object storage in a single unified platform.
CEPH Covers All Three
SUSE Enterprise Storage is based on Ceph, an open-source platform designed to provide storage from a
highly-scalable, high-availability, cluster environment.
The foundation of Ceph is the Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store (RADOS), which provides
object, block, and file system storage in a single unified storage cluster. The distributed architecture of
Ceph RADOS is highly scalable with the ability to support thousands of application servers accessing up to exabytes of
data. Each application can use the object, block, or file system interfaces to the same RADOS cluster simultaneously.
Ceph storage clusters are designed to run on white box servers, using the Controlled Replication Under Scalable
Hashing (CRUSH) algorithm to distribute data evenly across the cluster. Cluster nodes are then able to access data
quickly without the type of bottlenecks found when scaling centralized storage architectures.
For cloud environments, Ceph object storage is accessible through Amazon S3 and OpenStack Swift REST APIs, as well
as a native API which can be used to integrate infrastructure or business applications.
Ceph block storage makes use of a Ceph Block Device, which is a virtual disk that can be attached to bare-metal Linux-
based servers or to virtual machines (VMs). Ceph RADOS provides block storage services such as snapshots and
replication. The RADOS Block Device (RBD) is also integrated with OpenStack Block Storage.
Ceph file storage (Ceph FS) is a POSIX-compliant file system which uses the same cluster as Ceph block storage and
Ceph object storage.

Overview
SUSE Enterprise Storage is a fully featured, self-healing, self-managing, distributed SDS solution which enables
enterprise IT organizations to use commodity off-the-shelf servers and disk drives to build cost-efficient pools of
enterprise-class storage.
Based on Ceph, SUSE Enterprise Storage scales from a single-app storage system to a multi-petabyte storage
environment serving files, block and object storage to an entire enterprise.
Backed by expert SUSE Linux engineering and support, SUSE Software Based Storage provides enterprise IT with the
resources needed to ensure a successful migration to open-source-based software defined storage.
Anatomy of SUSE Enterprise Storage
The unified architecture of SUSE Enterprise Storage allows IT organizations to build a high-availability and highly
scalable storage cluster environment. The unified storage environment can simultaneously deliver object, block and file
storage to cloud apps, virtual machines and custom clients developed in-house.
OSD—An object storage
device is a physical or
logical storage unit
(e.g., LUN).
An OSD Daemon is the
OSD software which
interacts with a logical
disk.
RADOSGW—A bucket-
based REST gateway
compatible with
Amazon S3 and
OpenStack Swift.
RBD ( Raw Block Device )—A distributed block device with a Linux
kernel client, QEMU/KVM driver, and, enterprise features like
snapshot , thin provisioning and compression.
CephFS—POSIX-
compliant file system
with a Linux kernel
client and support for
FUSE.
Monitors—A monitor maintains a master copy of the cluster map. A cluster of monitors ensures high availability should a monitor fail.
Storing Data—The Ceph Storage Cluster receives data from Ceph clients (block device, object storage, file system or a custom client you
create using LIBRADOS) and it stores the data as objects. Each object corresponds to a file in a file system which is stored on an object
storage device (OSD). Ceph OSD Daemons then handle the read/write operations on the disks.
LIBRADOS—A library
allowing apps to
directly access RADOS.
RADOS—An object
store comprised of self-
healing, intelligent
storage nodes.

Server Clusters Become a Basic Data Center Building Block
Deploying app server clusters to achieve both high performance and high availability is already a best practice in
enterprise data centers. Migrating to SUSE Enterprise Storage means replacing proprietary storage systems with more
server clusters. The difference is the new clusters will hosting storage software previously running on the proprietary
storage system controllers.
The future of enterprise storage looks like the diagram below where clusters of white box servers become a basic data
center building block— differentiated by their configuration for business, computing, storage, or networking apps.
SUSE Enterprise Storage Environment
Monitor Cluster
One monitor maintains a master copy of the cluster
map.
A cluster of monitors ensures high availability should a
monitor fail.
OSD Cluster
White box servers populated with HDDs and SSDs.
Data from object, block or file client is stored as object storage devices (OSDs).
Each OSD corresponds to a file in a file system.
Files are striped across many OSDs for performance.
Files are put into placement groups (PGs) and distributed to OSDs for high
availability.

Your Organization Needs You to Go Software Defined
Your organization needs you to go software defined because hyperscales have
proven the total cost of your storage will go down on the order of 40%, and your
ability to deploy storage service levels will go down from months to days. It’s not
an exaggeration to say that if someone does not lead your company on a migration
to software defined storage, your company will someday be at a competitive
disadvantage.
The Right SDS Architecture for Private Clouds
The implementation of software defined storage is usually part of a broader project to build a private cloud based on a
software defined data center architecture. Because SUSE Enterprise Storage is based on Ceph, it offers the unique
ability to provide object, block, and file storage from a single unified platform. It’s also integrated with the SUSE
OpenStack Cloud and Amazon S3.
Unless you want to be in the business of integrating disparate object, block, file, and
cloud components, the SUSE architecture is the right architecture for busy private
cloud builders to efficiently deploy SDS.
Expert Linux Engineering & Support
Open-source cloud operating systems and software defined storage platforms are
based on the Linux operating system.
SUSE is a Linux OS pioneer and successful software vendor with thousands of
installations. I would expect to receive nothing less than expert support from SUSE
for their software based storage.
Looking Forward to Performance Products
Today SUSE Enterprise Storage includes three products for capacity storage. This
offering will help IT organizations start their migration to software defined storage in non-mission-critical environment.
This suite of products also provides IT organizations with software to cost-reduce bulk storage, the class of storage
where spending is increasing the fastest.
Having said that, the most expensive storage are the systems deployed to support transaction-oriented applications. I
look forward to seeing new products from SUSE which can address these applications.

The Bottom Line
The general availability of open-source-based SDS apps from Linux vendors like SUSE marks the beginning of a new era
of much more agile, scalable, and cost-effective storage. SDS will displace traditional enterprise storage as the
dominant storage architecture and therefore creates a strategic imperative for storage IT pros.
The bottom line for IT organizations is SUSE is the right kind of company, and SUSE Enterprise Storage is the right set of
products to address the exploding cost of bulk storage with a low-risk approach.
Recommendations
Learn about SDS technologies, products, fails, and successes.
Determine the return-on-investment for deployment of SDS in your environment.
Create an SDS migration strategy for your company.
Start small and fail fast. Deploy SUSE Enterprise Storage in an DevOps lab or in a non-critical production
environment.
