An Introduction and Deep Dive into OpenStack Trove Project, with Kilo preview.

Abstract:

Aimed at a broad audience including IT Managers, CxO, database users, DevOps, or Developers in an IT organization, this presentation provides an introduction to OpenStack Trove, Database as a Service, and will also present an in depth exploration of the architecture of Trove, with a view of the roadmap of features for upcoming events.

It presents some practical examples of benefits achieved in adopting DBaaS, and shares learnings from the adoption process, and highlights some potential pitfalls. It helps participants understand the internals and architecture of Trove and provides the participate with knowledge that would be useful in assessing, deploying and managing Trove in the enterprise. It will conclude by presenting a view of the roadmap of features for upcoming releases, including Kilo.

It helps answer such questions as, “What are some major problems faced by IT and database users in the organization”, “What are the benefits of DBaaS”, “What is OpenStack Trove”, “How does Trove relate to such things as Amazon RDS, MongoHQ, Heroku, DynamoDB, HP Cloud Relational Database and Rackspace Cloud Databases”, “Should I offer DBaaS to my organization”, and “Practical considerations in migrating to DBaaS”.

It explores such concepts as “How does Trove interact with other OpenStack services”, “What are the various components of Trove”, “What are guest agents”, “How are requests to Trove processed”, “How does Trove handle such activities as Backup and Restore, Clustering and Replication”, and “How does Trove support multiple database types”.

Software-Defined-Storage with ScaleIO

Abstract:

Software-defined architectures are redefining the storage world. Customers want more choices on how they store data, especially in OpenStack-based clouds. Software storage solutions are gaining popularity because they give customers ultimate flexibility in how they architect and operate their storage environment.

EMC ScaleIO allows customers to dramatically improve infrastructure agility. The freedom to add, move, and even remove both nodes and capacity on-the-fly, during IO operations, is essential to support ever-changing IT requirements. It is a software-only block storage solution that supports almost any server hardware, and any media including SATA, SAS, SSD and PCIe. It also supports multiple deployment models- including both standalone and hyperconverged.

ScaleIO's parallel architecture aggregates both capacity and performance. This enables ScaleIO to be one of the fastest storage solutions in the market today. For example, at EMC World last year we demonstrated 48 server nodes delivering over 10 Million IOPs using only commodity hardware.

We'll provide an overview of ScaleIO and its architecture as well as deployment options within Cinder and OpenStack.
