Storage scale-up vs. scale-out

11 June 2014
No comments

Reading Time: 5 minutes In an old post about storage architectures is described in a simple way some basic concepts, including the scale-in (or scale-up) vs. the scale-out approach. They are different approaches in scaling with different implications. Unfortunately there is a simple an well accepted definition on what is a scale-out storage is (or not is): some are limited in specific contests (like this one only for NAS or this SNIA tutorial still applied to a NAS storage), other are too much vendor specific. But usually a scale-out storage imply: Multi-device (or multi-array) storage systems (aggregated in a […]

Actually, although it is a 1.0 version, is almost promising, but some UI pieces is (in my opinion) still missing: the vSphere Web Client is the management tool, but the VSAN dashboard is really limited an several other information (most could be obtained from the performance monitor) could be added to provide, for example detailed usage information. To be honest there is an experimental feature called VSAN […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes If you use SSD disks connected to a RAID controller like the Dell PERC (common in most Dell PowerEdge server), is common that the disks may be not recognized as SSD on the upper level. Because this type of RAID card cannot have a pass-thought feature (or VSAN friendly in VMware world) and is threated as a common virtual disk. If the purpose is just add the SSD as a cache system, you can use the integrated (in most recentrly PERC) feature: CacheCade is used to improve random read performance of the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) […]
