All storage cluster consist of servers. Server Yadro х2 205:
- Intel Zeon 2х12core
- 128GB RAM (upgrade is not possilbe)
- M2 SSD (for OS)
- NLSAS 6х12TB with possibile upgrade up to 12х12ТБ (min step 6 drives) for storing production date
- Hardware HBA
- SSD 2х3.8TB for storing indexes
- 2х10/25G ETH for frontend (production, customer network)
- 2х10/25G ETH for backend (service traffic, replication)
One installation (cluster) — 4 node minimum. Minimum step as an upgrade — also 4 nodes with same configuration. Maximum configuration — up to 100 nodes
Database based on blockchain technology. There is no no erasure coding, but it on roadmap. Data safety is replication factor (min=2). It means what object stores in two cope and different location (DC), if needed. Replication factor is setting up on bucket level and can be increase in case of upgrade. Use case — you have minimal installation with 4 nodes (A,B,C,D) and RF2, your object is located on nodes A and C. After upgrade (new 4 nodes) you can change RF to 4 and two copy of this object will be stored in nodes E,G.
External load balancing was annonced, but not tested yet. Its possible to use DNS round robin.
Sizing:
There is no questionnaires and calculator for partners. Minimun you need to know — usable size (it license), target RF, qty of DC. Also be usefull — expected perfomance (ops, bw, lat), qty of total object and its everage size.
Implementation, demo and support
Demo with HW and SW available only on vendor site (there is no demo VM). If you have a real case you need to go to vendor with a sale managers. Implementation by vendor only. Support for 1,3,5 years from Standart to Extended.
