Hi to all are there any reference architecture to use as base for a new environment ? We are trying to build a brand new object storage service for our customers. Actually we have 3 storage servers with 12 disks each. Each storage server will be used as Gluster node, one brick for each disks (2TB) with sharding. Are 10GbE really needed ? Actually we don't have any 10gbe switches but standard 1GB (i can create multiple LACP channels, if needed) Should I add 2 servers for gluster-swift as gateways? Which hardware ? Direct access to files (through glusterfs and not swift) will be made with FUSE and gluster driver across each client (mostly some virtual machines) There is no need to share files between gluster-switft and "plain" gluster but gluster cluster must be the same (same servers, same disks, same network.....). We don't want to build 2 different clusters. This new environment *MUST* be totally redundant with no SPOF. Any suggestions ?
From my perspective, having helped people with their own implementation as well as going through many iterations of my own, there is no one-size-fits-all. They're all dependent on use case. Start with your needs and engineer something to exceed them.
