Poseidon OS POS Appliance Solution
The PoseidonOS (POS) appliance by Hyperscalers is a distributed storage solution using the NVMe-OF protocol that delivers super-fast and reliable (NVMe RAID5) block storage over TCP. The PoseidonOS solution is complete with hardware and software making it ideal for service providers looking to achieve hyperscale storage efficiencies for their own private cloud or a public cloud storage as a service offering. Simply attach POS to virtual machines and containers. Use cases include: Cockroach DB, mongoDB, MySQL, MariaDB, Elastic, Apache Spark, Apache Kafka amongst many others.
The PoseidonOS (POS) Graphical User Interface GUI
System administrators can manage and monitor the storage which is facilitated by an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Hardware
Hyperscalers adopted the open-source light weight storage OS to qualify the state-of-the-art high-speed interface on high density NVMe server S5B (D52B-1U). This appliance is suitable for a dis-aggregated infrastructure and tiered storage datacentre architecture involving databases. Poseidon OS is also qualified on Intel Icelake PCIe Gen 4 architecture. Refer to S5X (D53X-1U)
Supporting NVMe-over-Fabrics interface over RDMA and TCP
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are the technology and protocol that serves the purpose of sharing the super-fast NVMe with clients on the network. The RDMA technology allows the clients on network to exchange data in the main memory without involving the processor, cache, or operating system. TCP acts as the communication standard that enables the target and client to exchange data over the network. POS utilises these to expose the target’s block devices over the network.
By performing dis-aggregated storage, the cloud or storage vendors can isolate their applications and storage devices on a physical level but not compromising on the data access speed. POS provides a flexibility to attach the high-speed tiered storage to any of the application based on requirements. The API interface to the POS management can be useful for the billing process.
Performance
The baseline UBUNTU Disks benchmarking is performed with the client connected to the block storage of block size 2.5TB and the average read rate was about 1.4 GB/s and average write rate was about 865 MB/s through a network of bandwidth 5 GB/s.
Performing the FIO 3.7 sequential read test on the client that connects to the PoseidonOS target, we achieved a bandwidth of 1.9GB/s with 4k block size.
