Disk to Cloud: Abstract your File Operations with CBFS

SQL Server has been running on Windows for years. Now Microsoft is making it available on Linux in order to provide a consistent database platform across Window and Linux servers, as well as on-premises and in the cloud. In this presentation, Janis Griffin, database performance evangelist at SolarWinds, discusses the advantages of using SQL Server on Linux, comparing architecture, cost and performance.

The eBITUG 2017 presentation that provides and overview of DBaaS capabilities delivered by NonStop SQL/MX. It also shows how DBS simplifies provision of databases and facilitates automation. It supports virtualized as well as regular NonStop X86-based systems.

ReaR(Relax and Recover) is delivered as part of the SUSE Linux High Availability Extension. We show -by way of example- how corporations integrate ReaR during Preparation, Testing and Recovery as buildingblock of their disaster recovery strategy.In the technical part we will highlight the AutoYaST/YaST integration with rear-suse. We will also investigate some of the adaptations, that had to be done to make ReaR work with upcoming SLES12, that will include systemd and grub2 to be able to automatically recover btrfs subvolumes.

In this talk, we review a real-world use case that tested the Cassandra+Spark stack on Datastax Enterprise (DSE). We also cover implementation details around application high availability and fault tolerance using the new DSE File System (DSEFS). From a field and testing perspective, we discuss the strategies we can leverage to meet our requirements. Such requirements include (but not limited to) functional coverage, system integration, usability, and performance. We will discuss best practices and lessons we learned covering everything from application development to DSE setup and tuning. About the Speaker Rocco Varela Software Engineer in Test, DataStax After earning his PhD in bioinformatics from UCSF, Rocco Varela took his passion for technology to DataStax. At DataStax he works on several aspects of performance and test automation around DataStax Enterprise (DSE) integrated offerings such as Apache Spark, Hadoop, Solr, and more recently DSE Graph.

Want to store your data to the cloud? This presentation gives an overview of multiple encrypted storage solutions.

The document discusses Oracle Cloud File System (ACFS), which provides a general-purpose file system built on Automatic Storage Management (ASM) disk groups. ACFS introduces features like snapshots, replication across sites, security controls, and encryption. It is integrated with Oracle databases and middleware but has some limitations around licensing and platform support. The presentation includes demos and tips for deploying, managing, and using ACFS.

Evan Powell presented this deck at the MSST 2107 Mass Storage Conference. "What is so new about the container environment that a new class of storage software is emerging to address these use cases? And can container orchestration systems themselves be part of the solution? As is often the case in storage, metadata matters here. We are implementing in the open source OpenEBS.io some approaches that are in some regards inspired by ZFS to enable much more efficient scale out block storage for containers that itself is containerized. The goal is to enable storage to be treated in many regards as just another application while, of course, also providing storage services to stateful applications in the environment."

The document discusses the history of data storage technologies and how the approach is shifting back towards converged and hyperconverged systems. It provides an overview of converged infrastructure solutions like IBM's VersaStack, which combines Cisco servers and networking equipment with IBM storage systems. The document also summarizes IBM's Storwize and FlashSystem storage platforms which can be used in converged and hyperconverged environments.

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows users to access and share files located on remote computers as if they were local. NFS runs on top of RPC and supports operations like file reads, writes, lookups and locking. It uses a stateless client-server model where clients make requests to NFS servers, which are responsible for file storage and operations. NFS provides mechanisms for file sharing, locking, caching and replication to enable reliable access and performance across a network.

This document discusses mass storage systems and their management by operating systems. It covers disk structure, disk scheduling algorithms, disk management including partitioning and file systems, swap space management, RAID configurations, and implementing stable storage. The objectives are to describe mass storage devices, explain their performance characteristics, evaluate disk scheduling, and discuss operating system services for storage like RAID.

This document discusses best practices for using zFS with CICS. It describes where different types of CICS files should be stored on zFS based on their purpose and criticality. Install files should go in /usr/lpp/cicsts, critical files like programs and configuration files in /var/cicsts, and temporary files in separate directories for each CICS region under /cicstslogs. It also covers setting up permissions and directories for Java resources, pipelines, bundles and other CICS artifacts on zFS. Secure access controls are recommended using UNIX permissions and groups to allow appropriate access for CICS regions and administrators.

This document provides an overview of openSUSE Cloud Storage Workshop presented by AvengerMoJo in November 2016. It covers introductory topics on traditional and cloud storage, key components of Ceph including MON, OSD, MDS, and CRUSH map. It also discusses features like thin provisioning, cache tiering, erasure coding, self management/repair. Development topics covered include Ceph source code, use of Salt for configuration and deployment, and SUSE's software lifecycle process.
