A long time
ago in a galaxy far, far away... • what is fibre channel? Fibre Channel • is ethernet + TCP/IP different than fibre channel?

Ethernet Everywhere? •

We don’t need
no stinkin’ revolutions... • high performance = high RPMs! nope. • IOPs not RPMs Photo Credit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Francisco_Villa.gif • 37% more IOPs with SATA ©2008 DigiTar, All Rights Reserved

“Lies, damn lies,
and enterprise drives.” • greater reliability costs more right? • wrong. you don’t necessarily get what you pay for: Photo Credit: http://www.pcmag.com/image_popup/0,1871,iid=124480,00.asp • New data on “enterprise” drive reliability • “Failure Trends in a Large Disk Drive Population” Google - http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf • “Disk Failures in the Real World: What Does an MTTF of 1,000,000 Hours Mean to You?” Carnegie Mellon University http://www.usenix.org/events/fast07/tech/schroeder/schroeder.pdf ©2008 DigiTar, All Rights Reserved

and other HA myths... • high availability truths • redundant controllers fail • hitless upgrades are miracles... and happen just about as often Photo Credit: http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/11025.jpg • rock-solid availability • redundant arrays (not controllers) • application level failover ©2008 DigiTar, All Rights Reserved

The missing link. •
cheap disk, commodity hardware, gig ethernet... we’re missing something... • a storage OS: Linux or OpenSolaris • storage on Linux can be hazardous to your health • OpenSolaris • rock-solid storage subsystem • ZFS • iSCSI, NFSv3/v4, CIFS (FC target soon!) • NTFS ACLs (dual-directory support) ©2008 DigiTar, All Rights Reserved
