User Needs
Back-end cloud storage problems based on open source virtualization
Open Source and Interoperability
The cloud platform based on open source virtualization technology has attracted the attention of the market since its birth. Communities such as OpenStack have built a good ecosystem for open-standard IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). In order to seek the agility of the project, the aggregation of technical strength and the long-term self-controllability of the product, the manufacturer chooses OpenStack, CloudStack, ZStack and other open source cloud frameworks as the main architecture of the large-scale IaaS "cloud operating system" to build an enterprise private cloud. or application industry cloud platform.
Fully Distributed Architecture
In KVM-based cloud scenarios, most users will choose native Ceph, GlusterFS, BeeGFS, etc. as the underlying storage components to realize virtual machine block image management, image warehouse, and data backup. The mainstream open source distributed storage platform is widely used by large-scale Internet and high-performance computing operators. The deep participation of many leading manufacturers of hardware and operating system platforms ensures the advancement of open source component technology and high-quality interoperability among manufacturers.
Productization and SLA
However, open source distributed storage systems such as native Ceph also have several problems, which limit its wide use in enterprises:
Cloud Operating System
A large number of command line operation and maintenance are used, which is inefficient
Enterprise Dedicated Cloud
Insufficient integration with enterprise-level hardware and application ecology, relying on development
Virtual machine block image management
The performance and quality of service at a single point are not as high as traditional storage
Product Value
An enterprise-level distributed storage product
XCBS (XSKY Cloud Block Storage) storage is an enterprise-level distributed storage product developed by XSKY, which has been deeply optimized for the open source cloud environment. Compared with the upstream software of the community version, the XCBS distributed storage system has been deeply optimized in terms of stability, performance, reliability, and ease of use, realizing visualization and automatic operation and maintenance, and providing a reliable storage infrastructure for large-scale cloud environments support.
