In this video, Sayan Saha, senior manager, Red Hat Storage product management, provides a brief technical overview of Red Hat® Storage Server (RHSS) and a glimpse into how it actually works under the hood, with an emphasis on its composition, key concepts, file placement logic, dynamic scaling, and access. Below is a summary of the various points Saha cover. For a more in-depth view, please watch the webinar.
Composition: RHSS integrates Gluster, an open source distributed file system, with XFS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). This provides a pre-integrated and pre-verified storage server.
Key Concepts: The most granular unit in RHSS is a ‘Brick.’ The bricks are consolidated to create a ‘Volume’. This is a single, common mount point. The volume can either be distributed or replicated, depending on whether one or more file copies are needed. Each node is clustered together to create a complete storage pool.
File Placement and Retrieval: RHSS does not have a metadata server. Instead, it places files on a Brick based on a hashing algorithm. The same calculation is used to retrieve the same file from the Brick.
Dynamic Scaling: Inevitably, businesses will need to add more storage, and RHSS makes this easier. By simply probing a server into the Red Hat Storage cluster and adding a brick, you have increased the space provided by the volume. A rebalance command will evenly distribute data across all bricks. Bricks can also be drained of data and detached if less storage is desired.
Asynchronous Geo Replication: RHSS provides[we just need to say that it does it, we can’t suggest that we’re guaranteeing performance] data safety by generating a copy of your files in another storage site, hundreds of miles away. RHSS scans a log that records changes you made to your files, and replicates those changes on the disaster recovery site.
Access: RHSS offers a variety of points of access, from the standard protocols NFS and SMB, to a fuse-based client, or a file system in the user space. Lastly, it also offers programmatic access to files in the RHS cluster.
