Manila: Taking OpenStack Shared File Storage to the Telco Cloud

Manila is the shared file system service and is an incubated OpenStack project since the Juno release. Manila allows tenants to manage shares, e.g., NFS exports, take snapshots, and adjust access rules – among other things. In this talk, we will present our lessons learned during an evaluation of Manila for use in a telco… Continue reading Manila: Taking OpenStack Shared File Storage to the Telco Cloud

Manila 101 & Use Cases

Manila provides an automated, on-demand, and scalable service for delivering shared and distributed file systems all via an open, standardized API developed within the OpenStack effort, but made available for usage independent of what cloud ecosystem is utilized. For the first time, cloud users can self-provision and manage shared file systems as first-class objects to… Continue reading Manila 101 & Use Cases

Addressing storage management challenges using open source SDS controller

Cost pressures, explosive data growth and cloud workloads are driving the need for fundamental shift in how storage resources are being managed in the private cloud. In this session we present open Software Defined Storage (SDS) controller framework augmenting the OpenStack storage services (i.e., Cinder, Manila, Swift) to address storage management challenges and demonstrate an… Continue reading Addressing storage management challenges using open source SDS controller
