Storage Challenges in AWS EC2
EBS
EC2
Without Gluster Highly Available POSIX storage is impossible
– Redundant NFS is not possible within EC2
NAS performance is limited to the speed of a single instance
– 80MB/s maximum throughput for a single EC2 instance– Larger more expensive EC2 instances are required to reach
80MB/s
Performance within AWS is unpredictable– Resources within EC2 speed up and slow down– Performance on EBS volumes can vary up to 70% from the
mean hour to hour
NAS Is difficult to scale – An instance is limited to ~120TB of storage
S3 requires application rewrites to leverage object storage
– S3 is incredibly slow (~15MB/s)
11
Enter Gluster – RightScale Server Template
We are the ONLY way to implement a highly available file system in Amazon.
We limit the performance vagaries of Amazon virtual machines and storage.
There is NO limit to the speed of a Gluster cluster, regardless of file size, block size, etc.
There is NO limit to the number of files in a Gluster cluster, regardless of file size, block size, etc.
Gluster is designed to work across availability zones and with S3 snapshots for genuine HA storage.
From concept to production in 30 minutes.
2 hour support SLA. Guaranteed.

When to use Gluster• Unstructured Data
• Video Files• Audio Files• Pictures• General Office documents• Web content• Emails (Zimbra, Sendmail, etc.)
• When not to use Gluster• Databases (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, etc.)• Structured Files• Data where on-disk block order matters
13
Scaling performance
The total speed of the cluster is the aggregated speed of every instance.
Single file performance is limited to the instances(s) on which the file exists.
Gluster has been benchmarked in Amazon @ 5300MB/sec aggregated throughput.
Single file performance is limited to ~80MB/sec.
