New performance and sizing guidance on #RedHat #Gluster Storage with QCT hardware I’m an oldest sibling. They say the traits of the oldest include being mature and dependable, while rebellion and excitement are often characteristics of the youngest. Think of the Prodigal Son parable.Brothers in arms On the surface, it’s possible to draw a parallel to the Red Hat Storage products. Red Hat Gluster Storage was the first product in Red Hat’s quiver. Distributed, POSIX-compatible, scale-out file storage software, Gluster has added several modern architectural features over the years — geo-replication, erasure coding, bit rot detection, self healing and tiering, to mention a few. #Ceph was recently (April 2014) added to the portfolio and garnered attention as the new kid on the block, but also partly because it addresses the rapidly growing object storage market and has been the most preferred platform for #OpenStack 1. As younger siblings often do, Ceph tends to hog the spotlight. This week, elder sibling Red Hat Gluster Storage made a statement about its maturity in the marketplace and open source community, while also reinforcing the message around choice that Red Hat’s software-defined storage portfolio offers to customers.
