UNLEASHING THE POWER OF PARALLEL NFS:
The Top 5 Things You Should Know Today
Recorded: August 09, 2007
Speaker:
- Brent Welch, Director of Software Architecture, Panasas
Brent contributes to technical development including file system protocol design, storage cluster management, software architecture, test automation, and performance analysis tools. He co-authored the pNFS standards proposal and is one of the industry’s leading parallel file system architects. Welch received his BA in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado, his MS in Computer Science and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC, Berkeley.
Now that the parallel NFS (pNFS) extension to the NFSv4 standard is about to be ratified by the IETF working group, it is time to consider how to take full advantage of standards-based parallel I/O.
Most organizations using Linux clusters to run modeling and simulation applications already understand the performance and manageability advantages of deploying a parallel file system with their storage systems. pNFS provides a solution that results in dramatically faster time to results for users, with significant boosts in scalability and application performance. Learn why organizations are gearing up to make the transition from NFS servers to parallel storage and explore the top five things you should know to prepare for this exciting new way of deploying storage on your clusters.
- Learn about the pNFS extension to the nfsv4 standard and its ratification status.
- Examine the performance and scalability advantages of pNFS.
- Learn how companies like Panasas and other leading storage companies are contributing to a smooth transition to pNFS.
- Understand why pNFS is important and how your organization can take full advantage of this new protocol as soon as it becomes available.
