In our talk at CS3 2025 we will discuss the (r)evolution in the storage and network back-ends for cloud-based data centric services with a special focus on the sync & share service as a storage killer application.
We will review various storage back-ends for cloud platforms along with their performance, scalability and maintenance complexity and economical aspects. We will also touch on...
Learn how Host-Managed Shingled Magnetic Recording (HM-SMR) drives and selective write-grouping can transform software-defined storage (SDS) environments. Selective write-grouping and Popular Data Concentration (PDC) both work with Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) and Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) disks using erasure coding. By restricting write operations to fewer drives, selective...
Here, we present a preliminary study to evaluate how hardware configuration choices can affect the performance of a distributed file system.
While it is straightforward to size hardware for intensive computational tasks to achieve a given performance target, the complexity of the I/O hardware and software stack makes it challenging to predict - and even assess [1] - file system...
We report on the new, CERNBox-based stack, incorporating both Samba and CephFS, which is now providing Windows storage at CERN.
For nearly 30 years, the Distributed File System (DFS) ecosystem served as the main data storage platform for the Windows operating system at CERN. With a new demand for collaboration and access from anywhere worldwide, CERNBox has become the natural candidate to...
