 Swift - OpenStack Object Storage Architecture

• Massively scalable redundant storage

system
• Can be scaled as needed based on projected
workloads
• Default: 3-way replication
• Data replication and integrity across the cluster
• Proxy Servers:
• Proxy Servers are the public face of OpenStack
Swift
• Handle all incoming API requests
• For each request, will look up the location of the
account, container, or object in the ring and
route the request accordingly
• OpenStack Swift public API is also exposed
through the Proxy Server
• Amazon S3 compatibility
• For a detailed support matrix, see

 How is Object Storage Different?
Block and File Storage
– Decide where to put it
• For block, which array/volume/LUN
• For file, which filer/subdirectory
– Remember where it is to get it back
– Read/Write records, append data
– Limits on LUN size, number of files
IBM Systems Technical Events | ibm.com/training/events
Object Storage
– Provide data over to the Object storage
• Get “claim stub” reference locator
– Use or share “claim stub” to access
data HTTP, Openstack Swift, S3
– Get/Put/Delete object in its entirety
– Effectively “unlimited” scalability

 The “IT Infrastructure Conversation”
IBM Institute for Business Value Study

The IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV), in conjunction with

Oxford Economics, surveyed 750 senior IT executives to learn
how prepared their IT infrastructures are to handle the changing
nature of business. We looked at how companies view the
importance of IT infrastructure, the investments they are making in
this space, and how they can better prepare for the future.
"IT infrastructure plays a vital role in our day-to-day
activities and business. It increases the ability of our
company to respond to a rapidly changing
marketplace through flexibility, efficiency and speed."
VP / Director IT Infrastructure, Retail

 The market is recognizing the importance of OpenStack as an
important open technology

End-user organizations remain concerned about

cloud vendor lock-in, which is driving much of the
interest in OpenStack
Published date: 08/01/2014 Source: IDC

60% of respondents stated that they already use or

plan to use Openstack's cloud computing software

 IBM Contributions: Key Areas around Storage

Storage and Database as a Service Contributions

• In OpenStack’s block storage component (Cinder) IBM made numerous

improvements to the base functionality including removing deprecated oslo-
incubator code, being active testers and developers of the new os-brick library
and helped get improved volume replication support integrated.

• Cinder driver improvements included support for over subscription,

implementation of new Consistency Group functions and implementation of
replication for Cinder backend drivers such as storwize_svc, XIV and DS8k.

• In OpenStack’s object storage service (Swift) IBM contributed enhancements to

the container sync feature.

• In OpenStack’s Database as a Service Component (Trove) IBM added back up

and restore capabilities to both the Trove CouchDB and DB2 guestagents. Also
IBM enhanced the CouchDB guestagent to support user and database
management capabilities and make these available through the OpenStack
dashboard plugin for Trove.
