In this episode, Chris chats to Danny Abukalam, Product Engineering at SoftIron about the deployment of task-specific SDS solutions. The post #223 – Task Specific Software-Defined Storage appeared first on Storage Unpacked.

Enkele jaren geleden waren er enorm veel bedrijven die zich presenteerde als een storage vendor, inmiddels lijkt dat een soort verboden term te zijn geworden, want men wil gezien worden als een data management leverancier. Vroeger bestond het portfolio bij dit soort fabrikanten vooral  uit racks met HDD's of SSD's (flash arrays). Nu bieden ze software defined storage, al dan niet op hun eigen hardware, met de nodige additionele software features. De wereld van storage en ook backups is dus onderhevig aan verandering. In deze podcast bespreken we wat er gaande is in die wereld. 

Das Livestudio bietet wieder besonders spannende Einblicke. Christian Noll, Geschäftsführer der Global Business Services (GBS) DACH bei IBM, stellt die aktuelle 2021 CEO Studie von IBM vor – die gleichzeitig die Größte Studie ist, die es je gegeben hat. #Covid-19 hat für uns alle einiges verändert im letzten Jahr – und das wird auch 2021 nicht anders sein. Besonders für Unternehmen und damit auch für CEOs sind die Veränderungen tiefgreifend. Deshalb war eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme vielleicht nie wichtiger als heute! Und diese Bestandsaufnahme liefert die aktuelle 2021 CEO #Studie vom IBM Institute of Business Value. Geklärt werden Fragen wie „Was ist in diesen herausfordernden Zeiten besonders wichtig?“. Die Antwort auf diese Frage lautet: Dazu gehören die Mitarbeiter, aber auch die passende Technologie, um ein Unternehmen sicher durch den aktuellen Sturm zu steuern. In der #Presseschau kommentiert Moderator Stefan Pfeifer aktuelle Medienberichte über Technologiethemen und ordnet sie ein. Während der #Eventvorschau werden diesmal zwei spannende Events vorgestellt: Software-Defined Storage ist derzeit ein sehr wichtiges Thema in Unternehmen. Goetz Mensel, Business Development DACH für Software Defined Storage, gibt einen Vorausblick auf die IBM Spectrum Scale Strategy Days am 3. und 4. März. Teilnehmer können sich auf den aktuellen Stand rund um das Thema Spectrum Scale bringen – und das kostenfrei. Auch die Veranstaltungsreihe „IBM Kompass für SAP“ am 2, März bietet Orientierung in turbulenten Zeiten. Tanja Scheller, Director IBM SAP International Competence Center gibt dazu weitere Insights.

This week, Chris and Martin debate the success of software-defined storage or SDS. Over the past 10-15 years, storage systems have evolved into a wide range of software solutions, appliances and cloud-based products. What has driven this move to focus entirely on software and what will the next stage of evolution be? Are we in […] The post #189 – The Quiet Success of Software-Defined Storage appeared first on Storage Unpacked Podcast.

Steven Umbehocker, Founder and CEO of OSNEXUS Corp.discusses his software defined storage predictions for 2021, which storage technologies are on their way out, and the new ones that are on the horizon.

Schneller Flash-Speicher wird immer günstiger und für die beste Speicher-Performance empfehlen sich heute sogenannte All-Flash-Systeme. "Perlen vor die Säue", stellt unser Interview-Gast Alex Best von Datacore in den Raum. Wie er diese Aussage begründet, diskutieren wir in der letzten Episode dieser Staffel mit Blick auf Anschaffungskosten, Nutzen und Risiken von All-Flash-Lösungen und günstigeren, alternativen Lösungsansätzen.

Wir kennen es vom Handy: Foto gemacht, auf dem Handy gespeichert, in die Cloud synchronisiert, als Backup alle Fotos auf Notebook oder PC kopiert - eine Datei, viele Kopien, in allen der selbe Inhalt. Wir halten Daten aus Sicherheitsgründen gerne redundant vor, falls mal ein Gerät kaputt geht. Für ein Unternehmen ist eine Datensicherung oberstes Gebot, soll aber auch keine Einladung zur Platzverschwendung sein. Wie man Herr der Dubletten wird, wie man Speicher verschiedener Hersteller logisch miteinander verbindet und wie der Zugriff auf häufig benötigte Daten beschleunigt werden kann, diskutieren wir wieder mit Alexander Best von Datacore.

Das ökonomische Prinzip besagt, dass man entweder mit einem festen Budget ein Maximum an Leistung einkaufen kann (Maximalprinzip) oder eine fest definierte Leistung zu einem Minimum an Kosten (Minimalprinzip). Alles dazwischen oder daneben ist - kaufmännisch gesehen - Unsinn. Dennoch stehen IT-Abteilungen von Unternehmen vor der Herausforderung, dass sie bei sinkenden Budgets die hauseigene, wachsende Nachfrage an Speicher decken sollen. Und das auch noch innovativ und performant. Wir diskutieren mit Alexander Best von Datacore, wie IT-Abteilungen der Angst vor der Speicherknappheit begegnen und das Maximum aus ihren Budgets holen können.

Vous pensiez que tout a déjà été évoqué avec le Software Defined Storage (SDS) ? Peut être... Ou pas ! Le SDS c'est un très vieux sujet, et en même temps bourré d'innovations... Mais alors, il faut dire quoi exactement ? C'est par ici que ça se passe justement.

Wenn wir uns Speicher in ein einem Rechenzentrum vorstellen, denken wir an große, teure Kisten mit vielen Festplatten und blinkenden LEDs. In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurden diese Kisten immer schlauer und haben viele neue Funktionen bekommen. Die Idee, diese Funktionen als Software von der Hardware abzutrennen, ist noch nicht ganz so alt. Welche Funktionen das sind und welche Vorteile das mit sich bringt, werden wir in dieser Staffel klären. Unser Gast ist Alexander Best von Datacore, der mit uns zum Auftakt noch einmal das Thema unstrukturierte Daten / Big Data und dem damit verbundenen Datenwachstum beleuchtet.

Die IBM Spectrum Scale Strategy Days 2020 vom 3. bis 5. März in der IBM Zentrale in Ehningen / Stuttgart sollen Interessierten sowie Kunden helfen, High Performance Storage Management Lösungen des Herstellers hautnah zu erleben. Vom Basiswissen bis zu Vorträgen und Best Practices für Teilnehmer, die diese Veranstaltung aus den Vorjahren kennen, erwartet die Besucher*Innen ein umfangreiches dreitägiges Programm. Das Storage Consortium spricht im Rahmen der Tagung in diesem Podcast exklusiv für Sie mit Ralf Colbus, Member of the worldwide CTO Team of IBM. Hintergrund neben den Inhalten der Tagung ist vor allem die aktuelle IBM Storage-Ankündigung vom 12. Februar mit einer Vielzahl an neuen Lösungen. Weiter erhalten Sie konkrete Anworten zur (mittelfristigen) Strategie des Anbieters im Kontext von Daten- & Speicherverwaltung inklusive Software Defined Storage, Hybrid Clouds und Flash...

Software-Defined Storage (SDS) is a concept whose time may have finally come, not only because the software itself is getting better but also because the hardware is much more capable. Modern solid-state drives (SSD) can generate hundreds of thousands of IOPS per drive, so storage systems no longer need proprietary hardware to meet performance expectations. The SDS software developers can focus their efforts on improving the efficiency in how they use storage resources. The combination means that customers can choose the exact hardware configuration they need to meet the demands of the organization. Joining us in this episode of Storage Intensity is Kingston's Enterprise SSD Product Manager, Cameron Crandall. Listen in as George and Cameron discuss why now is the time for SDS.

פודקאסט מספר 372 של רברס עם פלטפורמה - אורי ורן מארחים בכרכור ערב החמסין את יאיר הרשקו מחברת Zadara לשיחה על אחסון, עננים ואנומליות בלוח השנה העברי.הפרק בחסות Dropbox, שהם גם ספונסרים של Reversim Summit 2019 (כבר יש וידאו, ותמונות וסיכום…)יאיר, נשוי + 3 מאלוני אבא, בתחום האחסון כבר ~20 שנה - תואר במדעי המחשב בטכניון ומשם התחלה בעולם האחסון, תחילה בחברה בשם StoreAge (שעסקה ב - Storage virtualization). ב-2006 החברה נרכשה ע”י LSI (שהתחילה בתוך הטכניון ומשם עברה לעיירת הקייט הציורית נשר). ויאיר המשיך כמפתח-ראש צוות-מנהל פיתוח.ב-2010 החטיבה נמכרה ל- NetApp וכולם הלכו הביתה (הלינק היום בכלל הולך לאתר של Broadcom). יאיר, יחד עם המנכ”ל וה-CTO הלכו להקים משהו חדש. אז Zadara קמה בתאריך העברי ז’ באדר א’ , ומשם הגיע השם Z Adar A . . . זהו תאריך חשוב במסורת היהודית - תאריך הולדתו ופטירתו של משה רבנו. לא מזיק - לאיש היה ניסיון עם Tablets (ובאופן כללי רעיון למגוון רחב של שמות לחברות).חוץ מזה שזה יכול לקרות רק בשנה מעוברת, וגם אז רק בשני, רביעי, חמישי או שבת . . .השנה היא כבר 2011 - יש עננים בחוץ, Cluodera כבר תפוס, CloudAge פחות תופס . . . Zadara it is.אז מה חסר עכשיו בעולם? נראה שיש פער בין יכולות האחסון שקיימות ב - Data Centers של הארגון הטיפוסי (מבוססי IBM ו-EMC וכו’), לבין מה שקיים בענן הציבורי (Public Cloud), שב-2011 זה כמעט רק AWS - ובעיקר S3 ו EBS. אפילו S4 עוד לא היה.גם EBS היה עדיין מאוד בסיסי - Block בלבד, אם אפשרות להגדיר Capacity ודי זהו.נראה היה שה-Storage מהווה את אחד החסמים העיקריים של ארגונים לעבוד לענן.מערכות האחסון בענן לא היו ברמה הנדרשת, וארגונים שהיו רגילים לביצועים, קיבולת ויכולת התאמות (Customization) ברמה מאוד גבוהה (Lift & Shift, שמצריך שכבת חומרה עם אותן יכולות).מי שכתב את האפליקציה שלו מחדש באותו תקופה (מי אמר Netflix?) כבר כתב אותן לתוך עולם ה-S3 ו - Object Storage, כבר עם Interface אחר - או מבוסס מכונות “commodity” עם אחסון כללי כלשהו - הנחה בעייתית, שצריכה להכיר בזה שמכונות נופלות (ואיתן הדאטה) כנתון. הגיוני אולי ל-Netflix כ - Cloud Native, פחות לארגון הממוצע.הרבה חברות לא רצו לכתוב מחדש - “פשוט” לקחת את ה - Workload הקיים ולהעביר לענן (משיקולי תקציב בדר”כ, נכונים יותר או פחות). זה נכון עד היום - Lift & Shift של Legacy systems ש”עובדות יפה” ב-Data Center on premise, וצריכות משיקולים כלשהם לעבור לענן.חשוב לשים לב שיש גם את הצד השני - רצון לקחת את ה - Cloud Economics (כל שמגיע כל כך יפה מ - AWS/GCP/Azure) “ולהרוויח” אותם גם On-premise - להפסיק לדאוג ל - Hardware refresh למשל (פחת, מערכת מתיישנת וכו’). הרעיון של IaaS הוא שהכל הופך לשירות - לא צריך לתכנן מראש, אין חוזים לטווח ארוך אלא רק עלות לפי שימוש בפועל. מי שנותן את השירות נותן הבטחה ל - SLA וזהו.איפה זה פוגש את מי שנמצא בענן ורוצה לעבור ל - On-premise? מערכות ה-Legacy  שאנחנו מכירים היום לא מאפשרות את זה באמת.ב- Zadara מאמינים שעולם הענן קיים גם כ”ענן פרטי”, ורוצים לאפשר ענן כזה - למשל מאפשרים Storage as as service גם ב - Private cloud: מתקינים את המערכת אצל הלקוח, בלי שהוא קונה שום דבר אלא משלם רק עבור שימוש בפועל. Stop buying Storage . . .איך זה עובד ברמה הפרקטית? הרי מישהו צריך ללכת לחבר את הכבלים או לשדרג מדי פעם . . .המערכת בנויה כך שניתן לתפעל הכל מרחוק - שולחים ללקוח את ה - Hardware (שהוא Commodity - שרתים סטנדרטיים של Intel, Cisco, Dell וכו’), והמערכת היא Software Defined Storage. מבקשים Remote Access Permissions ומבצעים את ההתקנה מרחוק.מעיין Data Center מנוהל בתוך ה - Data Center של הלקוח.איך זה עובד בענן? נניח שאנחנו רצים על AWS - איך זה עובד? מכונות של EC2? משהו בחוץ?לא רצים בתוך ה - EC2 אלא בחוץ - מעבר לעלויות (AWS ישמחו כמובן…), Zadara מריצים את “הענן שלהם” (ה - clusters) ב - Data Centers שונים (עם Co-location, למשל Equnix) שנמצאים מאוד קרוב ל - Data Centers של “הגדולים” (Hyper-scale Clouds).מחזיקים כיום מעל 15 Data Centers כאלה בעולם (חוף מערבי ומזרחי של ארה”ב, אירלנד, גרמניה, יפן, סינגפור, קוריאה, אוסטרליה, קנדה . . .), כשבדר”כ החיבור ל-AWS הוא ב - Direct Connect (חיבור פרטי ומאובטח, גם מבחינת Bandwidth, ישירות ל-AWS), עם מודל עסקי שונה (משלם בעיקר “על הקו”, ופחות לפי Traffic in - Traffic out, למעט הגבלות שונות, בעיקר כשיש הרבה Write מה-EC2).אחד היתרונות של היכולת הזו “לרוץ מחוץ לענן” הוא היכולת ל - Multi-cloud solution - על אותה מערכת אחסון / Block File / Object, אפשר לגשת בו זמנית גם מ - AWS, גם מ - GCP גם מ Azure וגם מה - On-Premise.יש פתרון שנקרא Zadara Cloud on-premise, שמאפשר להגיע מה - On-Premise ל - Cloud (ב-Co-location), ומשם לגשת לאחד מספקי הענן לבחירתך: גם Multi-cloud וגם On-Premise עם חיבוריות ביניהם. מאוד מעניין.חזרה לרגע ל - Basics: הזכרנו מוקדם יותר שני סוגי אחסון ש-AWS הציעו - Block Storage ו - Object Storage. מה הם סוגי ה - Storage הנפוצים באופן כללי, או במילים אחרות - מה Zadara מאפשרת (Features) שלפחות בזמנו AWS לא אפשרו?לגבי Basics - מערכות אחסון מאופיינות בהרבה דברים . . . יש כמה אלמנטים עיקריים - סוג המדיה - המדיה המוכרת היא Hard  Disk Drives (מאיזור שנות ה-50): פלטות מגנטיות מסתובבות עם ראש קורא, capacity גבוה (14Tb נשמע סביר לגמרי נכון להקלטת הפרק), וביצועים סבירים (כמה ms); סוג נוסף של מדיה הם ה-Solid State Drives (משנות ה-90 פחות או יותר): טכנולוגית Flash, כתיבה וקריאה הרבה יותר מהירות, אין חלקים נעים וביצועים ב Sub-ms.מעבר לזה יש מאפיינים נוספים - Data Protection Layer (ששומר גם על רמה מסויימת של יתירות Redundancy) יש כל מיני סוגי פרוטוקולים לגישה, וגם כאן העולם התקדם וזה משפיע על Hardware Refresh: אם למשל עברת ממערכת מבוססת SaaS או SATA שהייתה יותר איטית, ועכשיו יש NVMe ו NVMe over-Fabrics שהם פרוטוקולים הרבה יותר מהירים לגישה למדיה שהיא מבוססת Flash (כשיצא ה-Flash, צוואר הבקבוק של האחסון עבר מהמדיה (סיבוב הדיסק) לפרוטוקול, ואז הגיעו ה- PCI ומעל זה את ה - NVMf על מנת להתמודד עם זה…) - לקוחות רוצים לעבור ל-NVMe בלי לשלם יותר, ו - Zadara עושים את ה - Hardware refresh עבורם.רגע, רגע רגע . . .מה זה NVMe? למה זה חשוב?אוקיי - Non-Volatile Memory Extension הוא פרוטוקול שמאפשר לגשת ב-RDMA ישירות אל המדיה. בהפשטה - אפשר “לשים פוינטר” ישירות אל הדיסק, ולהתייחס אל הדיסק כאל זיכרון לא נדיף. זמן גישה? סדרי גודל של עשרות ns, ועבור NVMe Drives מדובר ב-ms בודדות (סדר גודל של כ - x1000 יותר מהר).המדיה הטובה ביותר כיום מגיע משילוב של Micron ו - Intel, ונקראת 3D Xpoint, וזמן הגישה הוא סביב ה -10ms (בתנאי שמדובר ב - Attached Storage - מחובר למכונה עם PCI).למשתמש בסוף חשוף איזשהו API -

“The Chinese proverb: May you live in interesting times. Well congratulations, we all live in very interesting times. And, from an IT perspective, we live in unprecedented times. What is happening is we have entered into the digital era. This is the biggest shift to happen in business since the industrial revolution”, Joe Tucci, EMC Chief Executive Officer quoted during EMC World 2015. “Together, we have an incredibly powerful set of capabilities. Our goal is to be your most trusted, most innovative partner...We believe we've created the next great technology company...and we've created it just for you.” Michael Dell quoted Day One of “Dell Technologies” Introducing Dell Technologies. We believe technology exists to drive human progress on a global scale—to create new markets, reshape industries and improve the lives of every person on the planet. Our unique combination and unprecedented capabilities power true transformation for people and organizations everywhere.   These are unprecedented times, and the dawn of a new day as Dell Technologies.  For more information on Dell Technologies, please visit www.delltechnologies.com EMC The Source podcast will also transform, more details on Dell EMC The Source over the coming weeks.  But first, having just returned from EMC VMworld 2016, I have a tremendous amount of content to share.  It’s important to put that content into context.  VMworld 2016 August 28th to September 1, 2016 was conducted before the official creation of Dell Technologies on September 7th.  While my guests may refer to EMC product announcements and in some cases futures, rest assured all of the products and features will seamlessly transform to Dell EMC products, technologies and solutions.  So while I may introduce a few of them as “Your Source for EMC Products, Technologies and Solutions” the only thing that has really changed is “Dell EMC” and the inclusion of additional products for expanding our already rich technology portfolio.   These are indeed “interesting times” and while I look back and thank Joe Tucci for all he has done, I look forward to the new dawn of Dell Technologies led by Michael Dell. With that…  Let’s go straight to what I consider the MUST ATTEND Breakout Session of VMworld 2016 in its entirety, unedited audio format, Chad Sakac (@sakacc) the VirtualGeek – The Edge is Still Bleeding. SDDC9462-SPO - The Edge is Still Bleeding: A face-melting technical smorgasbord of all things Converged, Hyper-Converged, Cloud Native & Software Defined.  Abstract: So much technology change. So much more business pressure. Do you feel the pace of change is becoming impossible? I do. That means it's time to make decisions about what's boring and what matters - and get focused. This is an incredibly difficult and mind blowing task for IT organizations to undergo. In this session, we will discuss all things related to converged and hyper-converged infrastructure, looking at buy vs. build models and what the future holds. We’ll roll up our sleeves to examine Cloud Native Apps and take a look at Native Hybrid Cloud strategies, diving deeper into the Software Defined Storage world and view its impact in the modern data center - which by definition, lives on and off-premises. In typical Chad fashion, we’ll get our hands dirty with tons of live demos and sneak peeks of Software Defined Storage and Cloud Native Solutions.

Virtual Volumes (VVol) is a framework developed by VMware and partners in the storage industry to transform the way VMs are stored by enabling VM-awareness on arrays. VVol eliminates static storage constraints by removing LUNs, filesystems and volumes, and giving the array direct visibility and understanding of the VM objects they store. This enables a flexible policy based approach to storing and managing VMs without traditional concerns about capability and capacity management bounded by LUNs on the physical infrastructure. As we approach the 1st anniversary of Virtual Volumes we thought it would make sense to bring in Rawlinson Rivera to walk us through the key technical elements and the benefits of using VVols with your traditional storage arrays. Rawlinson Rivera is a Principal Architect in the Storage and Availability Business Unit at VMware. His responsibilities revolve around providing thought leadership around VMware’s Software-Defined Storage products and solutions as well as the development of technical content for customers, partners, and communities. Show Related Links vSphere Virtual Volumes http://www.punchingclouds.com/ The Virtually Speaking Podcast The Virtually Speaking Podcast is a weekly technical podcast dedicated to discussing VMware topics related to storage and availability. Each week Pete Flecha and John Nicholson bring in various subject matter experts from VMware and within the industry to discuss their respective areas of expertise.

Richard talks to Aidan Finn about Software Defined Storage. Picking up he left off in April talking about Microsoft's Scale-Out File Server, the whole concept of Software Defined Storage is abstracting the details of the storage hardware away from the actual storage process. Aidan digs into how mixtures of SSD and spinning drives to optimize performance using Windows 2012 R2 Storage Spaces reduces costs and simplifies getting significant amounts of storage without any custom gear. And as Aidan says, in the end, it's all just Windows. Storage continues to evolve, and not just for the big enterprise folks - there are clustered storage solutions for small and medium businesses too!
