Hello all,<br>
<br>
<br>
Am newbie to opensolaris and SUN HW; am curious and considering the<br>
Thumper 4540/ZFS/Gluster/Unify solution to provide cluster file system<br>
services to a bunch of clients ...<br>
<br>
question is -<br>
<br>
1. Has anyone deployed this in production? if so, what type of<br>
application environment is this appropriate for - ie., large seq IO -<br>
like rendering, HPC; how appropriate is it for random and small files?<br>
<br>
2. Can anyone point me to any links that could give me some idea of<br>
the ideal architecture where this technology is deployed?<br>
<br>
Is there an entry level configuration that one can grow into as<br>
environment grows, YET maintain a simplified level of administration<br>
(ie., still have single namespace, no mount map problems, etc.)?<br>
<br>
Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
aspasia.<br>
