What is OpenStack?

4

1 A open source component framework for IaaS clouds

3 Analogous to the Linux kernel (very tunable)

2 Delivering compute, networking & storage services

4 Buy a complete Cloud OS from an OpenStack vendor

OR build your own distribution (like Linux)

OpenStack Mission

5

"To produce the ubiquitous Open Source cloud computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to

implement and massively scalable."

Top 4 Reasons OpenStack Adopted:

1) Cost (98%)

2) Operational efficiency (95%)

3) Open technology (95%)

4) Avoiding vendor lock-in (95%)

Primary OpenStack Deployment Model?

1) 82% private cloud (hosted, on-prem, or

hybrid)

2) 15% public cloud

What Can OpenStack Storage Do For You?

11

Cost Private cloud <4¢ / GB/ month

Public cloud 1.5-12¢/ GB/ month

Scalability 100s Petabyte scale today

Short-term target Exabyte scale


OpenStack Storage Overview

12

Swift Highly available, distributed,

eventually consistent object storage.

Uses commodity servers.

Cinder Block storage interface layer for

cloud compute. Standardizes the

use of traditional block storage.


OpenStack Swift – Cloud Storage

13

Object storage • HTTP REST APIs

Distributed • Across geographies

• Linearly Scalable

• Masterless

Commodity servers

Durable • Multiple copies

• Self healing

Simple to manage

Multi-tenant


New Interface & Behavior with Swift… but

don’t be Alarmed

14

Swift is a new type of storage • Eventually consistent behavior

• HTTP – PUT, GET, POST, DELETE

• Requires application change

…but don’t be alarmed • Cloud gateways to convert file or block

protocol to REST

• Allow existing applications to use the cloud

• Additional features e.g. caching, WAN op,

encryption, dedupe etc.

• TwinStrata, Panzura, Maginatics, Riverbed,

Nasuni, Maldivica etc.


OpenStack Cinder – Storage for Cloud

15

Block storage interface • Integrate traditional block storage with OpenStack compute “Nova”

Integrated with Nova and dashboard • Supports Linux storage, Ceph, NetApp, Nexenta, SolidFire, Zadara, gluster, IBM

Performance optimized

Advanced capabilities • Snapshot capability

• Highly available,

• Fault-tolerant, recoverable

distribution, local backup

Dark archive;

e.g., Compliance

Private Cloud Use-Case

17

Large organizations • Scale-out more complex than scale-up

• Needs skilled IT staff

• Needs scale

Swift and Cinder in private clouds • Swift is a good choice for private cloud storage

• Cinder goes along with Nova, cloud compute

Companies providing private OpenStack

clouds • Rackspace, IBM, Cloudscaling, Nebula, Piston,

SwiftStack, Mirantis etc.


Public Cloud Use-Case

18

Any size organization • Eliminates capital expenditures

• Eliminates capacity planning

• Eliminates technology migration

• Eliminates management of equipment

• Can complement a private cloud

Companies providing public

OpenStack clouds • EVault, Rackspace, IBM, HP, Internap

etc.
