KT ucloud storage provides an OpenStack Swift-based object storage service. Some key points: - OpenStack Swift allows for redundant, scalable storage across standardized servers and can store petabytes of data. It provides reliability through data replication and a distributed architecture with no single point of failure. - KT customized Swift for their commercial deployment, adding features like SSL performance tuning, APIs for management, and real-time usage reporting. They deployed it based on a reference architecture with multiple zones and replications. - While OpenStack Swift is stable, deploying it on hardware can introduce problems. KT had to address issues in gathering customer usage data and analyzing patterns to focus improvements. They also found it challenging to increase revenue as

- 12. OpenStack Object Storage (a.k.a Swift) - Capabilities • Redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of standardized servers capable of storing petabytes of data • Distributed storage system for static data. Having no central "brain" provides greater scalability, redundancy and durability. • Reliability: Objects and files are written to multiple disk drives spread throughout servers in the data center, with the OpenStack software responsible for ensuring data replication and integrity across the cluster. • Scalability: Storage clusters scale horizontally simply by adding new servers. Because OpenStack uses software logic to ensure data replication and distribution across different devices, inexpensive commodity hard drives and servers can be used in lieu of more expensive equipment.

KT middleware SSL performance tuning - integrating with KT’s Single Sign On System KT API for management Metering data for specific billing requests Fast Ring Access with SSD Real Time Usage Reporting instead of eventually-consistent usage reporting Two separate deployments 2 replications + 3 replications
- 16. What KT had to do to commercialize OpenStack Swift
- 17. What KT had to do to commercialize OpenStack Swift Public Object Storage Service Commodity Servers, Disks (JBOD), Switches (Arista) 10G for public service, 1G for management network Similar to Rackspace Reference Architecture (5 zone 3 replication) Zone Separation, H/W Scale-Out , 3 system (dev, staging, production) Automated Test Environment (Chef-Vagrant/VirtualBox), Production (Git+Chef) Fully Automated Deployment/Configuration based on Chef KT customized logging for realtime reporting & billing CDN integration, advanced CLI tool, various language bindings, Management API, Cloud Portal KT monitoring system based on Zabbix & Collectd

- 24. KT ucloud storage - Client Tools • Benefits using OpenStack - There are many.. many.. client tools to provide.
- 25. KT ucloud storage - Use Case • Origin Store for CDN
- 26. KT ucloud storage - Use Case • Backend-Storage for SNS service • Media Archiving • Data Backup • Snapshot/VM image backup store • Backend Storage for Cloud File Service • Addition feature in Personal NAS storage
- 27. Some Test Data • Just for Fun, Result can be different with different setting and circumstance. • Upload/Download from/to its own VM service. • What kind of server is used. • ucloudbiz VM CentOS 5.8 • ucloudbiz VM Ubuntu 11.04 • Amazon EC2 CentOS 5.8 • Rackspace Cloud Servers CentOS 5.8 • Rackspace Cloud Servers Ubuntu 11.04
- 28. Some Test Data
- 29. Some Test Data
- 30. Some Test Data
- 31. What I am trying to say is... • Upload, Download, Big Size, Small Size, Many files in a container, Many containers, etc. • There can be lots of use cases. • Gather your usage data and Analyze patterns, then focus on what you need to improve the most.
- 32. Lesson Learned
- 33. • OpenStack Swift is a very stable and mature software stack. • However, prepare for the various problems, when it deployed on Hardware
- 34. • In terms of business, • People Does Not Know “Object Storage”
- 35. • It has been • NOT “selling a service” • BUT “explaining what it is and how to use” • and frankly speaking, • KT has been experiencing difficulties to increase revenue from object storage service.
- 36. • Educate the customer and Find Business Model with them. • This is a new concept for the customer.You should put “object storage” concept at their initial service design • Grow your potential customer pool with active support • AWS S3 took 3 years. Be patient. • Various promotion for younger developers & students
- 37. • Finally, OpenStack Community is Fantastic.
