OpenStack File Services Options

Glyn Bowden Leave a comment

How can OpenStack consume and control file services appropriate to High Performance Compute (HPC) in a cloud and multi-tenanted environment? Find out on September 22nd when SNIA Cloud hosts a live Webcast and examines two approaches to integration.

One approach is to have OpenStack manage the storage infrastructure services using Cinder, Nova and Neutron to provide HPC Filesystem as a Service.

A second option is to use Manila file services for OpenStack to control the HPC File system deployment and manage the exports etc. This part also looks at the creation (in progress) of the Lustre Manila driver and its current progress.

I hope you’ll join Alex McDonald and me as we discuss the pros and cons of each approach. Register today and

OpenStack Manila Webcast – Shared File Services for the Cloud

Alex McDonald Leave a comment

On January 29th, we continue our Cloud Developer’s series by hosting a live Webcast on OpenStack Manila – the OpenStack file share service. Manila provides the management of file shares (for example, NFS and CIFS) as a core service to OpenStack. Manila currently works with a variety of vendors’ storage products, including NetApp, Red Hat, EMC, IBM, and with the Linux NFS server.

In this Webcast we will:

  • Introduce the Manila file share service
  • Review key Manila concepts
  • Describe the logical architecture of Manila and its API structure
  • Explain what’s new in Juno, the latest release of OpenStack
  • Highlight the roadmap for Manila in the next release, OpenStack Kilo, and beyond

Register now for this live event that we expect will be informative and interactive. I hope you’ll join us.
