Are you overwhelmed by storage capacity requirements? Are you wondering how web giants are able to store large amounts of data at a fraction of your storage costs? OpenStack is the fastest growing open-source project to date, and its community builds cloud software. Join us to learn about the two OpenStack storage projects and how your company can take advantage of them. OpenStack storage allows the use of commodity hardware at massive scales that you can consume as a public, private, or hybrid cloud. View the on-demand webinar. Special guest speaker Randy Bias, founder and CEO of Cloudscaling and member of the Board of Directors for OpenStack Foundation, and EVault big data expert Joey Yep will inform you about this fast-growing, open-source project: OpenStack. • OpenStack Swift and Cinder storage projects • High-level functionality and architecture • Public, private, and hybrid use-cases

4. What is OpenStack?
1
A open source component framework for IaaS clouds
2
Delivering compute, networking & storage services
3
Analogous to the Linux kernel (very tunable)
4
Buy a complete Cloud OS from an OpenStack vendor
OR build your own distribution (like Linux)

5. OpenStack Mission
"To produce the ubiquitous Open Source cloud computing
platform that will meet the needs of public and private
cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to
implement and massively scalable."

12. OpenStack Storage Overview
Swift
Highly available, distributed,
eventually consistent object storage.
Uses commodity servers.
Cinder
Block storage interface layer for
cloud compute. Standardizes the
use of traditional block storage.
12
Cloud Storage Services

13. OpenStack Swift – Cloud Storage
Object storage
• HTTP REST APIs
Distributed
• Across geographies
• Linearly Scalable
• Masterless
Commodity servers
Durable
• Multiple copies
• Self healing
Simple to manage
Multi-tenant
13

14. New Interface & Behavior with Swift… but
don’t be Alarmed
Swift is a new type of storage
• Eventually consistent behavior
• HTTP – PUT, GET, POST, DELETE
• Requires application change
…but don’t be alarmed
• Cloud gateways to convert file or block
protocol to REST
• Allow existing applications to use the cloud
• Additional features e.g. caching, WAN op,
encryption, dedupe etc.
• TwinStrata, Panzura, Maginatics, Riverbed,
Nasuni, Maldivica etc.
14

15. OpenStack Cinder – Storage for Cloud
Block storage interface
• Integrate traditional block storage with
OpenStack compute “Nova”
Integrated with Nova and dashboard
• Supports Linux storage, Ceph, NetApp,
Nexenta, SolidFire, Zadara, gluster, IBM
Performance optimized
Advanced capabilities
• Snapshot capability
• Highly available,
• Fault-tolerant, recoverable

17. Private Cloud Use-Case
Large organizations
• Scale-out more complex than scale-up
• Needs skilled IT staff
• Needs scale
Swift and Cinder in private clouds
• Swift is a good choice for private cloud storage
• Cinder goes along with Nova, cloud compute
Companies providing private OpenStack
clouds
• Rackspace, IBM, Cloudscaling, Nebula, Piston,
SwiftStack, Mirantis etc.
17

18. Public Cloud Use-Case
Any size organization
•
•
•
•
•
Eliminates capital expenditures
Eliminates capacity planning
Eliminates technology migration
Eliminates management of equipment
Can complement a private cloud
Companies providing public
OpenStack clouds
• EVault, Rackspace, IBM, HP, Internap
etc.
