EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Deployed together, QStar and Cloudian provide a robust file archive solution that allows organizations to easily migrate static data from primary storage systems such as NetApp filers, onto a cost efficient, highly scalable, object-based storage platform running Cloudian HyperStore® software. The components that make up this solution include the following:

• QStar Archive Manager: Acts as a local cache into backend Cloudian object store. A CIFS or NFSgateway is presented out and used as a target for QStar Network Migrator. Archiving to objectstorage happens automatically when certain thresholds and conditions are met (i.e. Cache reaches80% capacity).

• QStar Network Migrator: This component is responsible for the actual data movement fromprimary storage to the archive point and subsequently the Cloudian HyperStore platform. NetworkMigrator is also responsible for file stubbing and supports NetApp filers using FPolicy (CIFS).

• Cloudian HyperStore: A feature rich and highly scalable software-defined, object based storageplatform that is 100 percent S3 compatible. In this architecture, Cloudian acts as the centralrepository for all archive data. Cloudian is a scale out, geo cluster solution that supports variousfeatures and technologies including replication, erasure coding, multi-tenancy and QoS, as well asthe ability to tier-out into any other S3 compatible platform such as Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier oranother Cloudian system.

THE CHALLENGES OF DATA GROWTH

In an ever-evolving landscape, storage administrators and IT departments are often challenged with increasing demands for additional storage capacity to introduce new services, drive productivity, streamline business processes and accommodate the ‘natural growth’ of data. In addition to maintaining service levels for current platforms they are often expected to accommodate these requests while also reducing cost.

This can prove challenging with traditional NAS and SAN storage systems due to architectural limitations of scalability and performance, as well increased operational and support costs as systems fill up with data and reach the end of their expected duty cycles. Many frame-based storage arrays can only support a set number of drives before customers are forced to buy larger controllers, or ‘rip and replace’ entire systems also known as forklift upgrades. These upgrades are typically costly, can be disruptive and also have to be repeated periodically as older systems are phased out by storage vendors.

Traditional approaches to data storage and management are changing with utility compute models now becoming mainstream and many organization’s looking to cloud and SaaS based solutions to reduce primary storage spend and facilitate the introduction of new services.

The traditional NAS and SAN foothold on IT storage is in decline and sales are being disrupted by customers who now opt for flash based (hybrid type) systems to deliver high performance at reasonably low cost for Tier 1 data sets and applications. In addition to SSD caching, other technologies such as compression and deduplication are often integrated within these new systems and as such, the traditional storage vendors of old with their monolithic offerings are struggling to compete. This decline is also influenced by the fact that although transactional data sets are growing year on year, these workloads are the slowest moving trend of predicted data growth in the coming years.

At the other end of the spectrum, where performance is less important, cloud based services are now becoming the de-facto standard to deliver high capacity storage repositories and data archives. Many of these services can be consumed in the public cloud (e.g. Amazon S3) or privately, on site, behind the customer’s firewall (e.g. Cloudian HyperStore). Whether an organization chooses to deploy cloud services privately, or use a public cloud service, or a combination of the two, is often a matter for internal politics and debate but major software vendors are increasingly adopting these standards. For example, the S3 ecosystem has over 500 independent software vendors who now support the S3 standard, and this trend is set to rise. Unlike the transactional data sets described above, unstructured data sets are growing at an exponential rate.

Gartner, IDC and almost all other analysts suggest that the rise of unstructured data will account for up-to 80% of all data created in the next decade. There are multiple drivers for this extreme growth including a massive increase in the amount of ‘human data’ that is being generated. This in itself isbeing driven by various market trends and technologies, including the consumerization of IT, an influx of mobility solutions, social platforms, online media, file sync and share tools and so on. Other major contributors to this growth include increasing amounts of ‘Interaction’ and ‘Log generated’ data, not to mention large data sets created by ‘Big Data’ & ‘Analytics’ as well as other machine-generated data from the ‘Internet of Things’. (Figure 1)

With the exception of certain workloads, this unstructured data typically does not have the same performance characteristics of traditional Tier 1 data and can therefore reside in a more cost-effective storage medium such as, Cloudian HyperStore, a highly scalable object storage platform.

Transactional data has minimal growth

Very often organization’s will introduce new, capacity hungry services and applications using local primary storage systems, especially if these systems have been over provisioned and capacity is available. This can present challenges for IT and storage admins as capacity is quickly consumed, creating ‘bloated’ storage arrays that contain mostly aged, static and dormant data sets.

As a result, management of these platforms becomes more complex and challenging, support costs skyrocket, performance suffers and problems arise when Tier 1 applications require additional space, which has been consumed by data considered less business critical. Adding additional capacity to these systems is only a short-term fix and forklift upgrades will only take you so far before you need to repeat and restart the process all over again.

This is where QStar and Cloudian can provide a solution.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW

Used together, QStar and Cloudian provide a robust mechanism for organizations to easily identify and migrate static data sets from existing primary storage systems to a highly scalable, feature rich object based storage platform. Using this approach, customers can migrate data to the appropriate storage tier based on user defined polices such as file type, file modification time or file size. Once data has been migrated to Cloudian, QStar then creates a stub file to the data and users & applications continue to access the data transparently in the normal way.

SOLUTION BENEFITS:

• Lower storage total-cost-of-ownership (TCO)

• Extend the lifecycle of Tier 1 storage systems (NetApp, HDS HNAS, IBM GPFS, Windows, Linux, Mac, UNIX)

• Cap primary storage

• Reduce backup times

• Improve data governance

• Improve performance of Tier 1 systems (NetApp specifically)

• Achieve better storage efficiency by storing data in the appropriate tier based on performance characteristics

Take advantage of a rich S3 ecosystem, use cases include the following:

• Backup and Archive

• EFSS & File Collaboration services

• Web Content Storage

• Big Data Analytics

• Storage as a Service

• Hybrid Cloud with AWS

And many more...

SOLUTION COMPONENTS

CLOUDIAN HYPERSTORE® SOFTWARE

Cloudian HyperStore software delivers a fully S3 API compliant, multi-tenant, and multi-datacenter

hybrid cloud storage solution. Cloud service providers use Cloudian HyperStore software to deploy

public clouds and managed private clouds. Enterprises use Cloudian HyperStore software to deploy

private and hybrid clouds.

Figure 2 - Cloudian HyperStore Software

Cloudian HyperStore software employs a fully distributed and replicated peer-to-peer architecture

with no single point of failure. It easily scales horizontally using industry standard x86 hardware

so deployments can start with a few servers in a single datacenter and then scale out as usage

increases to thousands of servers distributed across multiple datacenters managing hundreds of

petabytes of data. Its distributed architecture with automatic replication and recovery services makes

it highly resilient to network and node failures without data loss. Similarly, when scaling the storage

cluster or performing maintenance, changes in node availability are automatically detected without

service interruption.

Features like hybrid cloud streaming, virtual nodes, configurable erasure coding, data compression,

and encryption provide highly efficient storage and data management that lets users store and

access their data where they want it, when they want it.

QSTAR ARCHIVING SOFTWARE

QStar offers performance and cost flexibility with unlimited scalability. QStar Active Manager

Software can be easily integrated with an organization’s network environment and can be installed

on physical or virtual servers using Windows or Linux operating systems. It integrates seamlessly

with popular digital asset management and media asset management systems, providing simple

access to Cloudian HyperStore, without API support.

QStar’s Archive Manager Software creates an Active Archive gateway for Cloudian HyperStore to

provide a quick and easy method of archiving any file-based archive content. The software presents

the archive as a network share or mount point. Using standard network protocols such as CIFS

or NFS, creative users, editors and administrators can easily store, search and retrieve data within

the archive. In addition, completed digital content from production, post-production, mastering,

transcoding or distribution can be archived, freeing up capacity on primary storage for new content.

QStar software then uses the Cloudian S3 API to move content across the LAN or WAN into the

Cloudian HyperStore object-based storage solution – all while being transparent to applications.

QStar software allows retention periods to be set, converting data into a secure read-only format for

a set period of time. Data can be automatically removed at the end of this period, allowing the re-

use of this capacity for new content. Multiple retention periods can be created to support different

data sets to meet varying business needs. Additionally, QStar can independently replicate data to

multiple sites and to other archive technologies, such as LTFS tape for example.

For digital content already stored on SAN or NAS primary disk systems, organizations can create

policies using QStar Network Migrator software, which automatically migrates content to QStar

Archive Manager, and then to the Cloudian HyperStore object-based dispersed storage system.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

QStar software easily integrates within an organization’s network environment and can be installed

on physical or virtual servers using Windows or Linux operating systems. QStar Archive Manager

creates an “Active Archive gateway” for Cloudian HyperStore to provide a quick and easy method of

archiving any file-based archive content. The software presents the archive as a network share or

local mount point. Using standard network protocols such as CIFS or NFS, users, applications and

administrators can easily store, search and retrieve data within the archive.

The ASM server, or server cluster is responsible for data archiving from the local cache to the

Cloudian backend storage platform. High and low capacity thresholds can be configured to govern

when actual data archiving to the object store happens, and it is the ASM server (or cluster) that is

responsible for maintaining all indexes and catalogues pertaining to media management and the

QStar Structured Storage Device (QSSD), which in this case is the Cloudian HyperStore storage

platform.

Aged and unstructured primary storage data sets can be easily archived, freeing up capacity for

new content. The software then uses the Cloudian S3 API to move content across the LAN or WAN

into the Cloudian HyperStore object-based storage solution all completely transparent to users and

applications.

Figure 3 - ASM Solution Overview

The introduction of a secondary storage platform can help to reduce the overall total cost of

ownership (TCO) for storage as well as future proof storage investments. By taking advantage of

Cloudian object storage and QStar software, customers can easily move data into the appropriate

storage platform, based on custom defined criteria automatically and do this completely

transparently. Traditional approaches to data storage are inefficient; RAID overhead, replication, over

provisioning of volumes all lead to very poor storage utilization rates, object storage overcomes

these challenges and provides a robust scalable platform for the future.

SETTING ARCHIVING POLICIES

In order to migrate data already stored on SAN or NAS primary disk systems, organizations can

create policies using QStar Network Migrator software, which automatically migrates content to the

QStar Archive Manager access point, and then ultimately to the Cloudian object-based dispersed

storage system when the cache reaches configurable thresholds.

Using the Network Migrator component, administrators are able to define specific polices for data

movement based on standard file metadata. These polices can be custom tuned and are based on

various parameters including file type, file age, last access time, size and many more. Once a policy

has been defined and is executed, QStar will copy, move or migrate the data to the Cloudian

HyperStore cluster via the ‘Archive Manager Software’ (ASM) solution, which provides a CIFS/NFS

gateway with S3 support into Cloudian.

Once data has been migrated to the object store, QStar will leave a stub file on the file system. This

stub file, or reparse point, is used to call the data from the S3 object store. When a user or

application attempts to open the file, the object is pulled from the Cloudian backend storage

repository or if the file has already been retrieved, from the cache. An example stub file is shown

below, in Figure 4.

Figure 4 - Stub File Properties

As the QStar Network Migrator policy server is not in the data path, it is therefore not a single

point of failure. Operations will continue even if this server is offline. All information pertaining to

the location of the file is held within the stub file. A SQL database is maintained on the Network

Migrator server which provides reports on files moved and helps with simulating policies to view

their effectiveness before being applied. The database also allows QStar to recreate the stubs on the

primary storage if accidentally deleted.

HOW MUCH DATA CAN BE RECLAIMED?

As well as actually being able to copy, move or migrate data from primary to secondary storage

systems, QStar’s Network Migrator product also has another useful feature in terms of its ‘Storage

Reporter’ capabilities. This tool (which can be run for free and does not require installation on

primary systems or shares) can be easy used to determine how much data would be archived to the

secondary system based on user defined characteristics. This gives organizations the ability to easily

identify how much capacity can be reclaimed without impact to services. Depending on the data

type and use case, up to 80% of inactive file data can be migrated to Cloudian via QStar software.

Figure 5 - Storage Reporter Output

CONCLUSION

Deployed together, QStar and Cloudian can be used to help to extend the life of existing

primary storage systems by optimizing storage placement of file data based on the performance

characteristics of the data itself. Once the data has been moved to the appropriate platform,

administrators should see capacity and performance gains on their primary storage systems. For

example, with NetApp, ‘WAFL’ file system performance significantly degrades over time as system

capacity increases with data and snapshots. Figure 6. More information can be found in this post

ABOUT QSTAR

QStar’s archive philosophy is reflected in the architecture of our software. Designed to be

operating system and storage hardware independent, QStar customers are not locked into vendor

specific server and storage hardware. In addition they have the choice of using QStar’s optimized

proprietary file system (TDO) or industry standard files systems, such as LTFS for tape, or UDF for
