solutions

 

Hi -

 

I thought the SVLUG would be interested in a presentation from Anand Babu
(AB) Periasamy, CTO and co-founder at Gluster (www.gluster.com). Gluster
focuses on delivering solutions that provide the fastest path to public and
private cloud storage. GlusterFS is at the core of Gluster's scale-out
storage solutions.  GlusterFS is an open source, distributed file system
capable of scaling to several petabytes and handling thousands of clients.

 

I have included more information about the product and AB's bio below. If
you are interested in having AB has a speaker at any of your upcoming
meetings please let me know. Thanks!

 

Best,

Danielle

 

GlusterFS clusters together storage building blocks over Infiniband RDMA or
TCP/IP interconnect, aggregating disk and memory resources and managing data
in a single global namespace. GlusterFS is based on a stackable user space
design and can deliver exceptional performance for diverse workloads.

GlusterFS supports standard clients running standard applications over any
standard IP network.  Figure 1, above, illustrates how users can access
application data and files in a Global namespace using a variety of standard
protocols.

No longer are users locked into costly, monolithic, legacy storage
platforms.  GlusterFS gives users the ability to deploy scale-out,
virtualized storage - scaling from terabytes to petabytes - in a centrally
managed and commoditized pool of storage.

Anand Babu (AB) Periasamy, CTO

As CTO and Co-founder, AB sets the vision and strategy for the Gluster
product platform. Prior to Gluster, AB served as CTO at California Digital
Corporation, where his work led to the scaling of the commodity cluster
computing to supercomputing class performance. He drove the adoption of
cluster computing and GNU/Linux at enterprise data centers and helped close
strategic accounts at CDC. In 2004, AB led the development of the world's
second fastest Supercomputer "Thunder", for Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory. AB also serves on the board of "Free Software Foundation -
India". He is the author / contributor of various other Free Software
projects like GNU FreeIPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface), GNU
Garp (Gratuitous ARP Daemon), bios-config (edit/replicate CMOS parameters),
librpci/hdb (RPC interpose for GNU Hurd) and Hymn/PlayFair (iTunes ripper),
GNU Freetalk (Scheme extensible messenger for Jabber, Google talk), and
Freehoo (Scheme extensible messenger for YahooIM). He holds a Computer
Science Engineering degree from Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu, India.
