Building Efficient All-Flash Scale-Out Block Storage with Deduplication Support | SNIA

Abstract

Scale-out architectures have emerged in recent years as a way to address increasing capacity and performance needs. In this presentation we will discuss about the importance of combining scale-out and scale-up in a flexible way to gain the best possible TCO. Adding inline deduplication into the mix of scale-out and scale-up makes it much more challenging, but also more interesting. We will deep dive into the architecture details of the Kaminario scale-out block storage architecture to understand how global deduplication can be implemented in an efficient way which allows significant scalability while providing high performance.
