[CINDER] Distributed storage alternatives
Hi all. we 'd like to explore storage back end alternatives to CEPH for Openstack I am aware of GlusterFS but what would you recommend for distributed storage like Ceph and specifically for block device provisioning? Of course must be: 1. *Reliable* 2. *Fast* 3. *Capable of good performance over WAN given a good network back end* Both open source and commercial technologies and ideas are welcome. Cheers -- *Alfredo*
Hello Alfredo, I think best opensource solution is ceph. As far as commercial solutions are concerned we are working with network appliance (netapp) and emc unity. Regards Ignazio Il Gio 13 Feb 2020, 13:48 Alfredo De Luca <alfredo.deluca@gmail.com> ha scritto:

Hi Alfredo, Please take a look at SPDK: https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/drivers... https://spdk.io/ I can provide you with more information if you feel that this is the storage type you would like to use.
