Dear STH friends,
I work for a retail company. We need a scale-out storage product, which should be running on commodity hardware.
There is another thread asking the same question. But our need is different, so i create this thread, asking for community's wisdom.
Requirements:
_ At least 1M [4K 7:3 concurrent read + write] IOPS on sata ssd (ex: 32x-64x samsung sm863, supermicro microcloud. Less ssd to reach that mark is prefer)
_ Block storage or file storage is ok.
_ 10Gbps ethernet sfp+
_ Best price for performance.
_ Majority usage is VM image.
_ Minor usage is replication across datacenters (we have SMF optic direct-link between DCs)
_ Data integrity + safety
_ Client is a mix of: Linux LXC, Xen, KVM, Esxi (migrating away), Windows (if available)
_ We're running ~ 400 VMs [SQL, IIS, Redis, Nginx cache, CDN content ...]. Most demand on IOPS are DB VMs.
Product that have been installed/tested :
_ Ceph (Rados)
_ ScaleIO
_ Lizardfs
_ Beegfs
_ Glusterfs (not suitable for VM image)
(EDIT)
_ compuverde vNAS (can't test b/c free license does not allow all-flash)
_ openvstorage
So far, ScaleIO is the fastest product.
Is there any alternative solution?
Any input is appreciated.
Best regards.
