Review: What Is Cloud Storage?
• Generally, a scale-‐out storage infrastructure that leverages commodity hardware
• More than no single point of failure -‐ designed with mul1ple points of resiliency
• Generally, Object Storage Based
Review: What Is Object Storage?
• Method of accessing data
• Objects (files) are accessed via a Unique ID instead of a directory structure (dry cleaner example)
• Enhanced metadata for file control
• Can be access directly from the applica1on via REST / S3
• Can be accessed via a CIFS/NFS/iSCSI Gateway
Why Do Cloud Providers Use It?
• Cost effec1ve deployment of large storage
• Suitable for large amounts of unstructured data (no file count limits)
• Very rapid and near unlimited scaling of capacity
• Applica1on access is seen as an advantage
Why Should Data Centers Use It?
• Cost effec1ve, high capacity (most data centers won’t have file count issues)
• Extremely efficient recovery from failure
• Replica1on
• Erasure coding
• Easy access (gateways), most data centers won’t change code
What Is Hybrid Cloud Storage?
• A mixture of on-‐premise storage and cloud based storage
• Data is either automa1cally or programa1cally moved between the two loca1ons
• Can be done by a gateway, by the storage system or by an applica1on
Value Of A Hybrid Store
• Can slow local capacity growth rates
• Leverage cloud for secondary storage or cold storage (Glacier)
• Can improve data protec1on / reten1on
• Allows data to be replicated to cloud and then copied across the cloud for data redundancy
• Object storage founda1on can automate number of copies and geographic dispersion
Choosing Between NAS vs. Cloud/Object Storage
• File count not the issue for the non provider but storing unstructured data is
• Data protec1on and recovery
• Access
• Hybrid Capabili1es
What Is Hybrid Cloud Storage?
• Two object stores, one in Your Data Center and one in cloud, that communicate
• Local file, block storage on a gateway that syncs to the cloud for:
• Addi1onal capacity
• Data protec1on
