Elastifile Presents at Storage Field Day 12



Storage Field Day 12

Shahar Frank introduces Elastifile at Storage Field Day 12


This Presentation date is March 8, 2017 at 13:00-15:00.



Elastifile Company, Product, and Design Overview with Shahar Frank


Watch on YouTube
Watch on Vimeo

Shahar Frank, CTO & Founder, reviews the company’s history and product vision. They are implementing a new data platform for the modern enterprise. Their software-only focus is to support hundreds of thousands of nodes, provide scalable management containers, and focus on data, not on legacy storage.

Watch on Vimeo

Shahar Frank, CTO & Founder, demonstrates Elastifile’s hyperconverged scale out solution in Google Cloud. They provide file system services to applications within a simulated load within each node. This can be deployed as a container within a VM, as a VM itself, or on bare metal as an exposed file system, which can be mounted to an individual workload.

Elastifile Architecture – Overview, Data Path with Ezra Hoch


Watch on YouTube
Watch on Vimeo

Ezra Hoch, Chief Architect, gives an overview of the Elastifile file system data path. They have built a dynamic data path as part of their solution that can choose where specifically to write data, with the ability to cancel and re-choose write location in the event of errors or performance issues. Notably, this is done without any overall data caching, which with NVMe doesn’t provide any performance advantage. Instead, they leverage metadata caching.

Elastifile Architecture – Metadata with Ezra Hoch


Watch on YouTube
Watch on Vimeo

Ezra Hoch, Chief Architect, reviews how Elastifile handles metadata within their file system solution. Instead of making metadata a bottleneck of overall performance, especially for numerous smaller file sizes, Elastifile uses a consistency layering approach to get reliable performance at scale. At the lowest level this is governed by a configuration database, which is built on by an in-memory ownership repository, and the actual metadata handling. Any errors in the top most layer has failover to the one below it, which allows for consistent operations and at the base level, is resilient to substantial node and power failures.

Elastifile Architecture: Clustering with Ezra Hoch


Watch on YouTube
Watch on Vimeo

Ezra Hoch, Chief Architect, reviews the clustering configuration, which allows for their high availability and fault tolerant configuration database within the file system. The system uses a clustering officer and clustering agent on each node to provide for a consensus driven methodology. Each node monitors and reports on any inconsistencies within the others. He reviews how this system can intelligently handle node failure.
