This document summarizes SUSE Enterprise Cloud Storage and Docker running on Cavium ThunderX servers. Key points include: - SUSE Enterprise Storage 3.0 and Docker 1.9.1 were tested on ThunderX servers with 384 cores, 1TB RAM, and 4TB SSD storage. Over 300 containers were run. - SUSE has collaborated with Cavium since 2014 to bring ARM64-based software defined storage to cloud and enterprise using SUSE Enterprise Storage. - Benefits of running Docker on ThunderX include lower overhead, latency, and startup/shutdown times compared to virtualization. - Various storage pricing points are calculated based on ThunderX configurations, showing how costs can be reduced through
SUSE Enterprise Storage on ThunderX
- 1. SUSE Enterprise Cloud Storage and Docker on Gigabyte Cavium ThunderX Alex Lau (劉俊賢) Software Consultant alau@suse.com
- 2. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12-SP1 Docker + SUSE Enterprise Storage 3.0 H270-H70 - 48 Core * 8 : 384 Cores - 32G * 32: 1T Memory - 256G * 16: 4T SSD - 40GbE * 8 Network SES v3 - SLES12 SP1 on AArch64 - Kernel 4.1.27 - Ceph Jewel Release -3 MONs, 12 OSDs - Docker 1.9.1 Release - Over 300 running containers
- 3. ARM64 build begin with SUSE Enterprise Storage 2 SUSE has been collaborating with Cavium since 2014 to bring ARM64 base software define storage for cloud and enterprise. ARM64 build begin with SES2 for internal testing and technical preview. A highly scalable and resilient software-based storage solution that enables organizations of any size to build cost-efficient, highly scalable storage using off-the-shelf servers and disk drives.
- 4. Block Storage File System Object Storage Support object, block or file system storage in the same cluster Remote Cluster Data Encrypted at Rest Monitor Nodes Management Node Heterogeneous OS Access Automated management Automatic Rebalance & Recovery
- 5. Scale storage from terabytes to hundreds of petabytes without downtime SOCIAL MEDIA BUSINESS OPERATIONS MOBILE DATA CUSTOMER DATA %UPTIME
- 6. Use storage with multiple tiers Writing Quickly Application like: • e.g. Video Recording • e.g. Lots of IoT Data Reading Quickly Application like: • e.g. Video Streaming • e.g. Big Data analysis Write Tier Hot Pool Normal Tier Cold Pool Read Tier Hot Pool SUSE Enterprise Storage Cluster Normal Tier Cold Pool

Control Costs How SES reduce cost? $ Copy Copy Copy Replication Pool SES CEPH CLUSTSER Control CostsErasure Coded Pool SES CEPH CLUSTSER Data Data Data Data Parity Parity Multiple Copy of stored data • 300% cost of data size • Low Latency, Faster Recovery Single Copy with Parity • 150% cost of data size • Data/Parity ratio trade of CPU
- 8. Docker on AArch64 with SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 Docker is a lightweight virtualization solution to run multiple virtual units (containers) simultaneously on a single control host. Containers are isolated with Kernel Control Groups (cgroups) and Kernel Namespaces.
- 9. 9 Start SUSE Docker with an images verified distributed by SUSE Base OS SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Continuous Updates Up-to-date and secure images No revalidation
- 10. Why Docker on ThunderX • Less overhead • Without guess kernel • Without virtualization management • Lower latency • Application/ Daemon startup and shutdown time • Memory only need for running application
