Josh Goldenhar, VP Products, demonstrates their NVMesh solution in action. They’ve tested this with the major NVMe vendors, and allows you to mix and match drives as you see fit. The overall solution adds a mere 5 microseconds to reads and writes. Using relatively low-end Intel Xeon processors, Josh demonstrates getting remote IO response time of 94 microseconds vs 88 microseconds locally, and 4.5 million random read 4k IOPS, on a server with $13,000 worth of hardware.


Excelero NVMesh Architecture and Software Components with Yaniv Romem

Yaniv Romem, CTO & Co-Founder, reviews the architecture and software component of their NVMesh solution. Their solution uses the client CPU to avoid hindering application performance inherent in using the target CPU. Instead, the target RDMA NIC writes directly into the NVMe drive, making the data path effectively direct from the application to the target drive. This is all managed by an independent control layer. All of this is done with standard RDMA NICs running on Linux.

Josh Goldenhar, VP Products, goes over some of the use cases for Excelero’s NVMesh. This solution is unique in that it doesn’t use any CPU on the target device, and is capable of millions of IOPS. Josh outlines how this can be used to bring hardware homogeneity to the cloud by standardizing on hardware, and giving the flexibility to actually move storage to compute. This is ideally served for applications from real-time analytics, to databases, and container orchestration.

After an introduction by CEO and Co-Founder Lior Gal, Yaniv Romem, CTO and Co-Founder, lays out Excelero’s vision: to enable businesses to build an efficient, high performance, scale-out storage infrastructure. They built their solution predicting that applications increasingly expect NVMe capabilities from storage, while enterprises increasingly deploy 25/50/100G and with it RDMA. Their product, NVMesh just launched. It’s a software layer wherein NVMe devices are pooled and logical volumes are created on top of that.

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.


Elastifile Architecture – Metadata with Ezra Hoch

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 – Overview, Data Path with Ezra Hoch

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 Hyperconverged Scaling in the Cloud Demo with Shahar Frank
