High Performance Ceph at Adobe

Adobe will host us at 7:00 p.m. in Lehi this month.

Please be sure to RSVP here on Meetup.com as well as preregistering by Tuesday 9/20 with Adobe Security here: http://goo.gl/forms/8wzSWO9NtY

If you don’t preregister you can still get in by checking in at the Adobe security desk.

Veritas will be providing the food. Thanks!

Title:

Can you believe that Ceph's performance gets close to the one of SSD persistent disks without using SSDs?

Abstract:

In designing an OpenStack cloud system, one of the most critical tasks is how to build out a highly scalable and reliable storage system. We, at Adobe, have been using Ceph as high performance block storage in OpenStack for a variety of use cases such as images, volumes, and snapshots. Over the last two years, and through several experiences of building out Ceph systems, we've been able to achieve very competitive performance. Our Ceph nodes use traditional spinning hard disk drives (HDD), yet come very close to the performance of solid-state drive (SSD) persistent disks. The SSD persistent disks guarantee data persistency on remote SSD disks via networks. We would like to share how we designed our Ceph architecture to maximize its performance with all commodity hardware only.

Bio:

Jun Park is the Lead Architect for OpenStack initiative at Adobe. He has been working on strategically supporting business use cases by utilizing OpenStack private clouds. The use cases include CI/CD frameworks, and container-orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes and Mesos via OpenStack Heat/Magnum/Murano. He also has been heavily involved in the OpenStack community with different hats as a super-user, a developer, a speaker, and an evangelist.

We meet on the 4th Thursday of each month. This is our regularly scheduled monthly meet-up.
