HOT TOPIC: Unified Monitoring for OpenStack Swift Cloud Storage Platform
Sponsored by Dell and Zenoss
Thursday, April 11, 2013, from 6:30 – 9:30 PM, Sonian Auditorium, 85 Wells Avenue, Newton, MA
ABSTRACT:
OpenStack Object Storage (code-named Swift) is open source software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of standardized servers to store petabytes of accessible data. As OpenStack matures, more OpenStack-based clouds are being deployed into production. Running Swift without visibility into the underlying infrastructure is reckless because there are several well-known conditions that are irrecoverable and will lead to data loss.
Before the OpenStack Swift ZenPack, there was nothing for operators to ensure service levels because no specialized, best-practice solution for OpenStack monitoring existed. Zenoss’ OpenStack Swift ZenPack allows Swift-based cloud operators to ensure proper functioning of their storage clouds, and determine whether the cluster is able to perform within given key SLAs. As a result, operators can confirm that cluster and data integrity aren’t compromised by failing disks or object quarantines, cluster requests are fulfilled within given time periods, and cluster capacity meets both short and long-term needs.

ABOUT ZENOSS
Zenoss, Transforming IT Operations
Zenoss was founded in 2005 to address the challenges of operating and assuring large-scale IT services. Having lived the pain of building scale operations using legacy management frameworks, custom-built solutions and patchworks of point products, we knew there had to be better way. As enterprises and service providers drive aggressively towards the “IT-as-a-Service” model, the need for a new class of IT operations solution has become an urgent and obvious need.
The key principles that drove our initial offerings are even more relevant today as organizations drive towards the vision of automated operations and hybrid cloud infrastructure.
