Kinetic openlab

11 Phase 1 Yr 1 (started March 2015) Complete Access to Kinetic hardware has been integrated into the EOS storage system. The integration is functionally complete and can be used transparently by any EOS client. High performance erasure coding with striping Phase 2 Yr 2 (underway) Achieve production deployment with TCO gains using a multi-stage deployment Find and Resolve performance and stability issues, especially under failure scenarios. Kinetic EOS integration project at CERN 1 PB CERN Kinetic Installation

12 Stage 1: Dedicated Storage Servers with Dedicated Clusters The only addition to the existing deployment is the use of the kineticio library on the storage server to expose non-local hard drives to the EOS storage system. Kinetic Progress at CERN – Stage 1 Overview: No TCO gains, ready now Motivation: Verify performance, functionality and stability of core IO library Milestones: Keep deployment active until project completion. Gather statistics about uptime, data reliability

13 Stage 2: Dedicated Storage Servers with Shared Clusters Each kinetic cluster will be mounted by multiple storage servers. Reduces the overall number of required storage servers while maintaining bandwidth. Load balancing logic will have to be employed to decide which storage server to use for an access to a kinetic cluster. Again this stage does not impact the existing infrastructure. Kinetic Progress at CERN – Stage 2 Overview: Small TCO gains, approximately 3 months development required Motivation: Prepare multi-path functionality for stage 3 Milestones: Implementation Build distributed test-suite for multi-path functionality & multiple writer concurrency resolution.

14 Stage 3: Shared Storage Servers with Shared Clusters Use existing storage servers in the current EOS deployment to provide kinetic access instead of relying on dedicated servers. The pool of storage servers mounting a specific kinetic cluster likely has to increase compared to stage two in order to prevent bottlenecks when io to locally attached hard drives happens concurrently with io to kinetic drives. Kinetic Progress at CERN – Stage 3 Overview Maximum TCO gains, ready with stage 2 Motivation: Gain cost effectiveness by applying stage 2 to existing storage servers and remove dedicated servers. This allows 10x+ expansion of storage capacity while maintaining current server infrastructure. Milestones: Stage 3 deployment for full production system
