Storage Consumption within OpenStack


OpenStack Block Storage on NetApp •  Data Protection – Better snapshots •  Rapid Cloning – Better cloning •  High Availability •  Non stop operations •  Scalability •  QoS •  Storage efficiency

–  Dedupe –  Cloning –  Thin provisioning

Cinder Volume Service

iSCSI NFS*

* NFS provider is block device at host layer


OpenStack Block Storage on NetApp •  Disaster Recovery – replication via

SnapMirror •  Add persistence to Nova instances by

using boot from volume •  Secure Multi Tenancy

•  Ensure tenant separation at the storage level

•  Virtual resources can be dedicated (premium price)

•  Unified Storage •  Common storage for file & block (possibly

object) * NFS provider is block device at host layer

Block, Object and File •  AWS cloud services and traditional OpenStack only have

Block & Object storage services and cloud “native” apps are designed around this

•  Data Centers use three kinds of storage –  Block (Cinder) SAN –  File (Manila) NAS –  Object (Swift)

•  Lack of file services limit the Enterprise’s ability to use OpenStack cloud infrastructure

WHAT ABOUT ICEHOUSE? Next Release of OpenStack (April 17, 2014)


Incubated File Service - Manila •  Share data across VM instances

–  Brings the benefit of shared storage "to OpenStack (NAS)

•  Simple and widely accepted protocols –  NFS and CIFS

•  NetApp is the best possible implementation –  High availability, data protection, storage efficiency,

multi tenancy –  Unified Storage
