Why Eventually Consistent Object Storage Should Not Use Consistent Hashing HD

In this session, Oscar Wahlberg, Director, Product Management, and Robert Novak, Director, Systems Architecture, will introduce Nexenta’s next generation object storage solution, NexentaEdge, and provide an architectural overview of the integration with OpenStack before diving deeper into the the technical details in a "chalk talk”. During the chalk talk we will cover the architecture of the NexentaEdge Object Cluster that supports a unified global namespace across clusters of clusters and performs distributed deduplication, leveraging off a new form of hashing, Flexhash(TM) and Replicast, a reliable form or Multicast UDP.
