Designing and Evaluating Hybrid Storage for High Performance Cloud Computing

 

AbstractThe need for reliable and fast storage systems is increasingly critical in various fields including artificial intelligence and data analytics. This paper proposes a new architecture for large-scale data storage systems, focusing on comparing performance of software and hardware storage technologies that effectively reduce the computational latency and improve performance. The main contributions include: (1) the combination of Singled Magnetic Recording (SMR) for storing data and Solid State Devices (SSD) for storing metadata is a viable solution for implementing large data storage systems; and (2) the combination of Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) for storing data and SSD for storing metadata shows the highest performance for high performance computing. Our experiments are carried out in multiple settings, demonstrating that the proposed architecture successfully improves performance for sequential and random reads/writes. The prototypes are evaluated with a set of workloads, showing the superiority of the proposed data storage configurations. This work provides new opportunities for efficiently processing and storing data and metadata in large-scale data analysis systems.

 

Conclusion

In this paper, we propose and evaluate cloud-based big data storage architectures working with the Ceph file system. Selecting a particular Ceph server architecture should be based on the tradeoff between speed (IOPS) and drive density (Tb/sq.). The results show that the combination of CMR + Metadata on SSD gives us the optimum read/write performance, but these CMR drives have very low drive density. This CMR + Metadata on SSD architecture can be best utilized when a user needs high response times but not high storage density. The combination of SMR + Metadata on SSD gives us very high drive density though this system has moderately lower sequential read speed (IOPS) compared to the CMR + Metadata Any Query Call Us: 9566355386
