Petabyte-scale, High-Performance Distributed Storage with Ceph

As the amount of data being generated from both commercial and private
sectors has\
rapidly increased, so has the demand to quickly and efficiently
access it. Given \
the scale of data and performance requirements, this demand has
greatly increased \
the gap between existing I/O capabilities and I/O requirements. To
address the cha\
llenges of large-scale, high-performance storage we have development
Ceph, a distr\
ibuted file system capable of scaling to petabytes of data, while
sustaining very \
high-performance. In this talk, we will discuss the overall design of
Ceph, how it\
has been extended for security and reliability, and how it can be
leveraged to ac\
hieve very large-scale data processing. We will explore future
directions for dist\
ributed storage how they can be leveraged to meet ever increasing data
demands.
