OpenStack and Docker are two complementary technologies very useful for IT administrators in traditional data centers.
In this post we tell you how to deploy a Docker cluster capable of using external storage provided byOpenStack Cinder.
The deployment of clusters is usually performed through OpenStack Magnum, which leverages Heat templates. But, how can we ensure Magma deploys and configures container infrastructure inclusive of providing external storage support for containers.?
EMC keeps on moving towards Open Source. After open sourcing CoprHD project, announced at EMC World, they have just released RackHD under Apache 2.0 license.
In this way, this project can be improved by the community and vendors can include support for their infrastructure products.
EMC Corporation today announced the availability of a range of products and solutions designed to seamlessly connect primary storage and data protection systems to private and public clouds.
As a result, organizations will be better equipped to take advantage of both the agility and unlimited scalability of public cloud services and the control and security of a private cloud infrastructure. Customers will be able to deploy a storage environment where data can be automatically tiered to both public and private clouds.
What are the main differences between hyper-converged and converged infrastructures?
The main difference is that hyper-converged infrastructures are defined by software and completely transparent. In this type of infrastructure, components cannot be separated in the same way as in the converged ones, but they are more flexible and customizable.
The flexibility of hyper-converged infrastructures makes them more scalable and cost-effective, because you can add, for example, more storage blocks as needed. In the converged ones, this option isn’t possible, since it is necessary to add whole packages, what makes them more expensive.
Hyper-converged storage systems are emerging as an ideal option for a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), since they allow providers to manage all configuration options. The system can be preconfigured with the type of storage and adequate networks, so virtual desktops work properly. In addition, having a single contact for support also facilitates the work of the administrator.
In this type of storage, all parts of the system are designed to work together and they are optimized for a specific type of virtualization (server virtualization or VDI). This makes it fairly simple to start with a small pilot and then update it and expand it to support the entire organization.
