The following is a list of feature highlights of this new version of the Red Hat Storage software: </para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">High Availability</emphasis></para> - <para>The Red Hat Storage provides both synchronous and asynchronous n-way file replication to assure data availability:</para> - <para><itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">Synchronous replication</emphasis> provides redundancy and protection within a single data center or multiple data centers and availability zones in a region.</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">Asynchronous geo-replication</emphasis>- Red Hat Storage supports Geo-Rep long distance replication. Customers can configure storage server nodes and Red Hat Storage to asynchronously replicate data -over vast geographical distances. -.</para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist></para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">Deploy in Minutes</emphasis></para> - <para>The Red Hat Storage S can be deployed in minutes, providing one of the fastest ways to create an on-demand, high-performance, petabyte-scale storage environment. </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">No Application Rewrites</emphasis></para> - <para>Red Hat Storage Appliance provides full support for the semantics of a normal Linux file system like ext4 so there is no need to rewrite applications when moving data to the cloud as with cloud-based object storage. </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">Flexibility</emphasis> -</para> - <para>Runs in userspace, eliminating the need for complex -kernel patches or dependencies. -</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">Scalability</emphasis> -</para> - <para>Elastic volume management enables storage volumes -to be abstracted from the hardware so data and hardware can be managed independently. Storage can be -added while data continues to be available, with no -application interruption. Volumes can grow across -machines in the system and can be migrated within the -system to rebalance capacity. Storage server nodes -can be added on the fly. -</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">Simple Management</emphasis> -</para> - <para>Simple, single command for storage management. It also includes performance monitoring and analysis tools like Top and Profile. Top provides visibility into the workload pattern and Profile provides performance -statistics over a user-defined -time period for metrics including latency and amount of -data read or written. -</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">No Metadata Server </emphasis></para> - <para>Rather than using a centralized or -distributed metadata server, Red Hat Storage software - uses an elastic hashing algorithm to locate -data in the storage pool removing this common source -of I/O bottlenecks and vulnerability to failure. Data -access is fully parallelized and performance scales -linearly. -</para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> -</chapter> |
