This article will explain in detail how to analyze Shanyan data to achieve comprehensive tight coupling with OpenStack. The content of the article is of high quality, so the editor shares it for you as a reference. I hope you will have a certain understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

Recently, the SandStone USP product block storage interface of Shanyan data has realized a comprehensive interface with the open ecology of OpenStack, adding the ability of iscsi to interface with Openstack based on the original rbd, so that SandStone USP can not only seamlessly interface with OpenStack through native Ceph RBD, but also provide block storage volume resources for OpenStack through iSCSI Cinder driver. Details of the principle are shown in the following figure:

OpenStack is one of the most widely commercially available open source cloud platforms. Under the system architecture of OpenStack, in order to support various storage requirements, Cinder and Swift components are born, in which Cinder is the component that provides block storage services in OpenStack, mainly providing virtual disks for virtual machine instances. The Cinder-Volume function of OpenStack establishes a unified interface for storage on an open platform and defines a unified Driver for storage. Storage manufacturers only need to implement these interfaces to plug and play in OpenStack in the form of Driver.

Ceph is a very popular storage backend for Cinder, and some of Ceph's own API support for OpenStack is also very friendly. However, in the actual production environment, the storage requirements of customers' OpenStack platforms are often diversified, and there is often a need to connect different storage resources through different storage protocols.

Shanyan data storage iSCSI driver supports high availability and uses multipath to support multi-path load balancing to ensure business continuity. After a long time and many strict tests, all versions of Cinder, such as K (kilo) version, L (liberty) version, M (mitaka) version and N (newton) version of Cinder, have successfully passed the test, and the relevant driver code has been integrated into the latest U (ussuri) version.

So far, all block storage interfaces of SandStone USP have successfully supported OpenStack, and users can use SandStone USP to build to meet the storage needs of different business applications in cloud computing and experience agile and flexible data storage services.

On how to analyze Shanyan data to achieve a comprehensive tight coupling with OpenStack is shared here, I hope the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
