SUMMARY:Architecture of a Next-Generation Object Storage Device in the Pan
 asas Filesystem
DESCRIPTION:Ellis H. Wilson (Panasas Inc)\n\nThe fundamental storage compo
 nent of the scale-out Panasas Filesystem (PanFS) is an Object Storage Devi
 ce (OSD).  After 17 years of incremental improvements to the hardware and 
 software of their OSD, Panasas unveils its completely re-engineered, next-
 generation OSD and associated OSD Filesystem (OSDFS).  It is designed to h
 andle the extreme performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency requiremen
 ts of exascale HPC and the parallel storage systems that must back it, and
  lays the foundation for future innovations.\n\nIn this presentation, we d
 iscuss the unique requirements of a parallel filesystem OSDFS that drove o
 ur original design, how evolving workload characteristics necessitated cha
 nges to hardware and software, the need for portable software, and key det
 ails of the new OSD architecture that is being announced and demonstrated 
 at SC’18.  We conclude with real-world performance analysis of our next-ge
 neration OSD and discuss its deep contributions in the near- and long-term
  to the overall Panasas performance and features roadmaps.\n\nTag: Archite
