8 Many Enterprises Rely on Red Hat Storage 8

9 Red Hat Storage (GlusterFS) Design Goals Innovation Elasticity Performance 9 Multiple dimensions Performance Capacity Aggregated resources Simplicity Capacity Flexibility adapt to growth/reduction Add, delete volumes & users Without disruption Scale linearly Eliminate metadata server Dramatically improve performance Unify files and objects Ease of management No complex Kernel patches Run in user space

10 Scalable No metadata server = faster file system Flexible Software only Deploy on the infrastructure of choice Simultaneous files and objects Modular, stackable storage OS architecture Data stored in native file formats Affordable 10 Enables linear scaling of performance and capacity Deploy on commodity hardware Performance Key Differentiators Capacity

11 Software Only Future Proofing Storage Superior storage economics & flexibility Data center / private cloud use commodity hardware Public cloud i.e. AWS, pay for what you need when you need it No hardware lock-in You choose hardware vendors - at purchase time or in the future Any Cloud Public, private, and hybrid Performance, capacity, or availability levels 11 GlusterFS not proprietary, files are stored in native formats (i.e. EXT4)

12 A Strong Open Source Foundation Global Adoption 300,000+ downloads 550+ registered deployments Diverse testing environments Bugs identification and fixes Code contributions Member of broader ecosystem 12 Mailing lists, Forums, etc. Active community 45 countries 2,500+ registered users ~36,000 /month (Nov.2011) OpenStack Linux Foundation Open Virtualization Alliance

13 Common Solutions Built on Red Hat Storage Media serving (CDN) Large scale file storage File sharing 13 High Performance Computing (HPC) IaaS storage layer Tier 2 & 3 archive Backup & Restore Disaster recovery

14 CIC Electronic Signature Solutions Hybrid Cloud: Electronic Signature Solutions Problem Must leverage economics of the cloud Storage performance in the cloud too slow Need to meet demanding client SLA s Reduced time-tomarket for new products Meeting all client SLAs Accelerating move to the cloud 14 Solution Red Hat Storage Software Appliance Amazon EC2 and Elastic Block Storage (EBS) RightScale Cloud Management Benefits Enabled faster development and delivery of new products to clients All SLA s are met with headroom to spare Accelerating move to the cloud Scale-out architecture allows for constantly changing resources to be added and accessed Data is highly available allowing 24/7 client access to data

15 Pandora Internet Radio Private Cloud: Media Serving Problem Explosive user & title growth As many as 12 file formats for each song Hot content and long tail 1.2 PB of audio served per week 13 million files Over 50 GB/sec peak traffic Solution Benefits Easily scale capacity Centralized management; one administrator to manage day-to-day operations No changes to application Higher reliability 15 Three data centers, each with a six-node GlusterFS cluster Replication for high availability 250+ TB total capacity

16 Brightcove Private Cloud: Media Serving Problem Costs rising, esp. with HD formats Solution Complete scale-out based on commodity DAS/JBOD and GlusterFS Replication for high availability 1PB total capacity Over 1 PB currently in Gluster Separate 4 PB project in the works 16 Cloud-based online video platform Explosive customer & title growth Massive video in multiple locations Benefits Easily scale capacity Centralized management; one administrator to manage day-to-day operations Higher reliability

17 Pattern Energy High Performance Computing for Weather Prediction Problem Rapid and advance weather predictions Maximizing energy assets Cost savings and avoidance Solution 32 HP compute nodes Red Hat SSA for high throughput and availability 20TB+ total capacity Benefits 17 Create a high performance computing system Need to deliver rapid advance weather predictions Identify wind and solar abundance in advance More effectively perform preventative maintenance and repair Predicts solar and wind patterns 3 to 5 days in advance

18 Red Hat Storage Deployment Options On-premise/datacenter Red Hat Storage Software Appliance Deploy on bare metal Any hardware on Red Hat Hardware HCL Public cloud Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance 18 Runs within Amazon Web Services (AWS) As an Amazon Machine Image

19 Summary GlusterFS is scale-out storage NAS Scalable, flexible, and affordable Open Source Innovative architecture provides a better way to do storage 19
