Why Eventually Consistent Object Storage Should Not Use Consistent Hashing

In this session we will introduce Nexenta’s next generation object storage solution, NexentaEdge, and provide an architectural overview of the integration with OpenStack before diving deeper into the technical details in a “chalk talk”. During the chalk talk we will cover the architecture of the NexentaEdge Object Cluster that supports a unified global namespace across clusters of clusters and performs distributed deduplication, leveraging off a new form of hashing, Flexhash (TM) and Replicast, a reliable form of Multicast UDP.
